Sumup are still charging me 1.95%. Put €17 through on 25th, €16.67 paid into my account on 31st.

"€ 10 Fare with Whistle you get € 9.25". I thought they charged €1/job?

The number one question customers ask Whistle drivers when you call them is . . “Are you Whistle or are you myTaxi?” This is proof customers will use your app to get you, if they need a taxi !


I woulda thought that's proof that they hailo'd on both apps and want to know which one they need to cancel.

JB doesn't know his arse from his elbow.
It's 50 cent for "shareholders" and €1 for non shareholders.
It was €50 to sign up and he then said it was going to go up to pay for more stuff.
Now Whistle is going to charge for processing credit cards.

Fucking joke if you ask me

I was thinking the same. A type of customer known in the business as a 'Taxi-Whore' !

So, how does a €10 fare get you €9.25?
€10 minus €0.50 = €9.50 minus €0.20 (2%) = €9.30
€10 minus €1.00 = €9.00 minus €0.20 (2%) = €8.80

With or without the 2% cc fee, neither rate of commission results in the payment suggested.

Same here with regards to SumUp..1.95%,
I haven't received any communication from them with regard to a hike in the rate.

Email received Mon 23:56

Guys ! Reminder, sign up and tech help meeting today Wednesday 1pm - 4.30pm (every week) at the 2 Sisters Pub, Terenue. Comes up on Google ! Other info . . The number one complaint from the public about our App is availability. Lets think about this question. What is more important . . . To only turn on Whistle when we know it is very busy. if so how will it become busy if we don't take the offers that are coming through at the moment. OR . . Lets start turning on Whistle and take whatever jobs come in. Even if it is just 1 per day. All those customers are going to tell their friends to get you on your app too !!! We got 3 contracts for cash work. One, a busy hotel, a large public house and another pub. All 3 of them started to try us the day we approached them. Bad news was . . our drivers had not got the app turned on, and we could not cars to them. If everyone is ready, lets start to turn on the app and then we can show the public .. "We have enough taxis and serve them through your app." For your information, we miss over 1,000 jobs per week. We have less than 200 drivers on shift at any one time. If you have difficulty using the app, go to the 2 sisters this afternoon, and the lads will show you how it works ! Looking forward to seeing you, The Whistle Team

The 2 Sisters is very select. Proper order for a set of businessmen investing in shares, I suppose. That pub was a hangout for cops...worse than the Step Inn...except you could drink all night and drive without getting done.

Inanyways....did you get the mail re Whistle only driver?

Whistle Only Driver ?

For those interested in working Whistle Only ! Send us an email saying “Whistle Only” and your PSV badge number to drivers@whistletaxiapp.com

We want to have a seperate meeting with you to tell you what we can do together.

The number one question customers ask Whistle drivers when you call them is . . “Are you Whistle or are you myTaxi?” This is proof customers will use your app to get you, if they need a taxi !

Credit Card Charges

We did not want drivers to absorb card handling charges. Due to recent EU law, we have to absorb these charges. Can Whistle get the best deal on the market ? The answer is “YES” We have an amazing deal of just 2%. The lowest rate in town. That is the power of us having our own App !

Examples . . .

€ 10 Fare with Whistle you get € 9.25 Other Apps € 8.80 € 20 Fare with Whistle you get € 19.10 Other Apps € 17.60 – save 1.50 !!! € 30 Fare with Whistle you get € 28.90 Other Apps € 26.40 – save 2.50 !!! If we all switched over to Whistle, we would save €3,900 per year. That’s an amazing €39,000 over 10 years. Plus we would have control of our industry.

Based on an average fare of 20 euro, 50 jobs per week. We would pay 45 euro per week for 1,000 euro worth of work ! And that includes card charges !!!

Registering Shares

As promised, all shareholders will be registered. We have been in touch with a number of accountants and company formation specialists. We have some good advice from one accountant he has said he would like to meet with us all. We are thinking to use this accountant as he was most informed and interested toWe have a fuel deal for all drivers !!! We will send you an email about this next week.

Sign Up and Technical Help

Every Wednesday at the 2 sisters pub, 4 Wainsfort Drive, Terenure. 1pm - 4pm. We are not operating full time from an office. Remember lads, Whistle has been set up by us the drivers. There is no point in wasting our own money ! Did you all know, many customers tried us over the last weeks and could not get cars as we did not have drivers with the app on in their area. You never know about the jobs until you are logged on. Turn up to the meeting to find out more. Everyone is welcome !! We also want to hear what you want to say !

Laughing my bollix off....he never stops does he?
