If a lot more people here were more careful and used the word "if" more frequently...there "would" be several more contributors posting....Scriptio Continua.

I wonder why Mytaxi were funding the course for people to get a psv driving licence when they dont have taxies .IF it turns out to be a fudge our  future might not be great IF its a fudge ,

Leading Lemmings closer to the precipice...but they refuse to see it as the cliff isn't directly in front of them.......yet.

Did  the prejudgment not say  transport so ok

The pre judgement said they were a transport company but that was before there was an opportunity to collect up some brown envelopes .only took 8 months to type up the final judgement ,Lets hope they are adjudged to be a transport company as the Rodent opined most drivers in the UK  are minicab drivers not freelancers .

All are freelance minicab drivers in London. AFAIK, the rest of the UK is the same. I'm not aware of UberPop operating anywhere on the British Isles.

"dynamic pricing"   

[Rat Catcher]

Malahide to College Green in snow. I don't know about Birmingham but that's a day's work in Dublin... and a fukking doctor who has no problem taking 60 notes for writing a couple of words on a prescription would happily give a hackney/limousine driver €30.

IF they were allowed to operate in this Village with unlicenced cars Im sure the taxithingey would insist on the fare card being the legal maximum fare but then again Limos can charge what they like. Anyhoo IF they become legal I might take up smuggling over the invisible border ,back in the day before Lidil and Aldi you could go up to the north fill your truck with cheap crap bring it down and sell it. A lucrative trade was had by going into the big distributors of magazines and newspapers and buying up all the out of date porno mags for 20p each and flogging them down here to specialist shops for £2 a copy .

Why would unlicensed operators be subject to fare restrictions that don't apply to licensed operators?

  Dynamic pricing ?I suppose IF they are allowed as you say the fare card only applies to taxies anyhoo The ECJ has signaled they are a transport company and lets hope they stick to that in the Full Judgement due out next Wednesday .
