Really Exciting News from mytaxi

[mercenary for hire]

If you only take the good work the jobs left lose their value.Drivers don't even open the screen anymore.So airport customers in Dublin for example get good service while everyone else gets no better service than those who instant hail.IMO its a bad system that encourages cherry pickers.The worst type of taxi driver.

Took a prebook last night Nangor Road to Tallaght job worth under a tenner waited till it went priority for 7.30 pick up arrived and the scumbag cancelled so applied for scrub but was unable to get priority .

If your a day driver just pick out a few jobs that will get you going in the morning.
I know of drivers that take 6 jobs off the system the night before and they will all run in with each other.

Can you really do that ?

How far apart in time must the jobs be ?

Ya done it loads of times myself.
It’s early mornings I do so traffic not a problem for me.
You have to leave about 20 mins from the time you drop one job for the next pick up as you have to activate the next pre booking.
There is times you will loose a job because you didn’t activate it on time.
A lot of the times it’s the same pre bookings that are on the screen everyday.

In order to do pre-bookings your tying yourself up for at least 30 minutes before hand..... So why bother?

To cancel within 20 mins of pick up so you can take it again with instant priority offered?

There was a ridiculous pre-book came up on the Cork MyTaxi screens last Sunday night.
It was fer a job to be collected @ 5.45am from a house inbetween Carrigtwohill and Midleton to be brought to Midleton train station.

Carrigtwohill is a village about 15KM East outside of Cork city, Midleton is a Town a further 10KM to the East, so the fare (Circa 5.5KM) to the train station would have been at the very best including PUC 15Euro. The Taxi fare from Cork to Midleton is about 35Euro.
This customer wanted to be brought to Midleton train station which is an end of the line station and only goes one way which is back in to Cork city fer 15Euro @ 5.45am in the morning and then pay 3 or 4Euro fer their train fare in to Cork city ??

MyTaxi were offering 'Instant Priority' to any driver that would take it, I already was on Priority, I watched it 'Time-out', no one took it.

The ambassadors will get first dibs on all the prebook jobs.

If you were out around Midleton it'd be a handy 15 notes + instant priority but like most radio jobs, not worth travelling for - but watch out for them Corkmen, they're cute whores, probably letting it go late deliberately so the client will have to take the taxi all the way into the city.

I’d say he works in Midleton.
Train station in Carrigtwohill, also in Glounthaune and Little Island so prob wasn’t coming back into the City.

[Rat Catcher]

Doe his booking coincide with train schedules?

[Jack Meoff]

He’s going to Midleton by Taxi.

First  train out of Midleton is at 6.15 going to Cork city.
It stops at carrigtwoill at 6.22 (where he gets picked up by Taxi)
Don’t make sense getting a taxi to Midleton to get a train to the City.
Must be working in Midleton.

[Rat Catcher]

Local knowledge, you can't beat it.

He could be the choo choooo driver

[Rat Catcher]

No point to delaying him so, the train's going nowhere without him.

But all I know is ambassador cars always have priority.

How did you know Deboy ?

When they first introduced the Ambassador cars that was was the deal.
Always priority and 8 cent off fuel.
Asked a driver last night who is an ambassador and he confirmed it.

Oh and a fleece jacket.
