Whistle

Remember the lads in Hailo said that drivers agreed/voted to drop the PUC.I wonder if they're the same lads who offered to drop the PUC in Whistle.They won't get enough drivers onboard if they come across as dirty discounters IMO.

Didn't Hailo ask drivers not to charge it, initially, to try drum up business and it stayed for 4+years

It was a vote. 9x% in favour, so I was told by loadsamoney (Dermot). That was back when the three double jobbers thought drivers needed them more than they needed drivers. Driver relations have improved now that two of the three are gone, I haven't heard of any drivers being threatened/sacked for contributing to fora since... of course the goalposts have shifted somewhat.

Initially it was a yeah but no but yeah but no but policy... resolved by drivers voting to drop the PUC, if you believe a word that came out of the double jobbers' mouths.

I don't remember discounts before de reg.
After September 2008 when Ebbs used the Castleknock cabs number, 820....the race to the bottom began in earnest.

Pretty much when the last recession started, Hail0 wasn't around back then.

Just regretting not having 'eircab' ready sooner, got caught out, but still watching and learning in case it goes tits up.

Still, drivers for drivers, so I don't want to muddle the picture if 'Whistle' has a chance, the current MD may be delusional, but I would say the drivers that have signed up want it to work.

If they really got 2k drivers signed up and are as shambolic as they seem, hope for all!

Only problem with that is drivers and public will have had a negative experience and may be reluctant to try again.

Don't want to be entirely negative, they seem to be on a sharp learning curve and hopefully learning along the way.

At least some one has copped the share anomaly bullshit (at the start) and is trying to sort it.

So if it is genuinely a driver owned app then drivers can replace management at some future point (AGM or EGM), if the current crowd don't learn and adapt.
