And yer man out in Pouladuff road is very nice to his drivers lately.
They are getting a good deal, 20% off discount is discontinued, unlimited holidays with no fees,  they are busy,
So yeah, drivers must be happy with him

Ya they are tipping away.
Even though a lot of their customers are using mytaxi.

Ironically, Satellite are also now using mytaxi to cover work they can’t get to, they only started this, this week

There's a few Dublin firms doing that.

Forward thinking... if you can’t get to them when they want you, someone else will.

That war was won when firms failed to respond properly 2 or 3 years ago,  How many bases will be still there this time next year,? I can only name four that I’d bet on.

I believe Arrow cabs actually closed during the week.
Locks on doors anall.
Drivers had a meeting with Mick Quinn and he has decided to keep it going for another 3 months if he can.

One of the first hackney companies to operate on the south side of Cork.
In business over 35 years or more I’d say.

I heard the same from a good source, rumour purports that they have Thirty cars working
but I reckon it's closer to Twenty and Mick owns most of them 'out on lease'.

Couldn’t imagine them having more than 17 cars.
You would want over 30 cars to make it just about work.

Yeah, it’s hard to see how some of the tiny bases are viable, some have shrunk to tiny numbers, I’d say the likes of K and arrow have less than 30 cars, probably yellow too, not sure about north side companies, but you don’t see many glen Eire cars anymore , and star seem to be missing a few.
As for Vip, blackrock, I don’t know if they are still actual companies or just the odd car with the roof sign not updated.

VIP was never a real company, eventually sold on to Ace, then DJ, then Satelitte or something along those lines !

Blackrock was with Expert fer a while, I'm surprised that didn't work out fer them.
