If MT's business model would allow them to cap commission permanently at €75 or 36 jobs they would have a good chance of wiping out non taxi renting traditional despatched. I think.

i couldn't believe what I read in an earlier part of this tread just now.
i read that Ebbs charges connision to drivers AS WELL as base fees surely whoever posted that is joking ?
also it was said that he gives discount to corporate customers, no he doesent,  YOU , THE DRIVERS give this discount, he just claims the credit for it .Jesus wept

It's a few years since the bullet worked for Ebbs. Discounts are in the past now that the economy has recovered. Even mytaxi came round to allowing us charge full fare a while back. Of course we do have to pay an extra €2 commission on hotel/pub/car hire return shed jobs.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

+2.68 - Commission (including surcharges for hotel/pub/car hire return shed jobs) should be capped at €47/week.

However, we know that's not consistent with mytaxi's business model. It aspires to charging variable rates of commission of up to 30%... as introduced in Germany some time ago.

Got a text from Lynk today trying to entice me back, they are now charging full fare on credit card jobs and lowering their commission.

When Ebbs tried to buy my freight from Pat Claffey, he said he'd only charge 10% commission PLUS €80+ freight. Have things changed ? And does he still offer % discounts  to Account customers ?
As far as I know Plebbs charges €80 or €100, &10% on account work. I have no idea if he gives discounts to customers.
The 10% on account work, he said would be an average. For example, blue cabs telling drivers Beaumont Hospital get 37% discounts,State Street Bank 25%, Ebbs said all drivers would pay 10% on accounts. he probably makes it up by charging drivers 10% on jobs where no discount actually applies.
Relying on the ignorance of drivers, plus the secrecy of Cab company /A/C Punter contracts.

I think all firms are full fare these days. Do drivers who work for Lynk have to pay an extra €2 freight on jobs from hotels/pubs/car hire return sheds like drivers who work for mytaxi?

... and the publican wants €2 out of your pocket for the pleasure of removing his drunken layabouts. Must get on to Panda and ask will they start paying me for letting them collect my rubbish.
