I wouldn't rent out my car to another driver because I don't trust someone else enough to take care of it the way I do.I'd rather park it up and sleep well at night.It owes me nothing.

What if the cosy supplied the car and you supplied the plate... or, perhaps more realistically, you and the cosy buy the car between you. You get a half price car and he gets time to save for his new new new new new new new new standard WAV - I've assumed two more "news" will apply before the agreement matures.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Seems a little too risky.Although I'm not against the idea for others I doubt there is anyone I'd be able to go into partnership that I trust enough except me little bro.The Wheelies are cheapish already and with the grant they aren't expensive anymore.There aren't enough advantages for a driver like me to share.

The ten year rule has us by the nuts...crash yer 2010 Prius/Octy and unless yer sitting on cash yer forking out 10k for a similar motor to continue working.I can account for my own shite driving but my cosy might be even worse and put me out of the game for a few months.

All the MyTaxi bonuses are targeted at the night shift so presumeably that's where *their* driver shortages are.  Why not lobby to stagger the closing times of pubs and clubs instead?  Otherwise you'll have 1000's of drivers with nothing to do outside of those few hours?


Also, I wonder why they picked Poland as the trial run for the version of their software?
And therein lies the problem. You hit the nail on the head. The powerful drinks  lobby is the tail wagging the Government dog.

Reasonable points, MfH. I guess new entrants might see more benefit in teaming up with each other to buy miniwavs. From their perspective that would make more sense than renting from the Ebbseseses. I guess mytaxi could look at promoting some form of shared ownership for the drivers it recruits and trains. Who knows, it might even suit it to build it's own fleet rather than watch it's trainees join Lynk.
