Flag's Driver Pledge!

[silverbullet]

I think it will succeed. It has already built some pretty impressive alliances. It's certainly the biggest threat to mytaxi as far as the Irish market is concerned.

Who,and why ?

Doubt if they have multi billionaire backers.

Won't be long before drivers are paying freight, MEINKAB, FLAP, and GoWhistle and throw in Screwber. haardly be anything left to live off FFS!!

"demand from drivers who have yet to download the app"

If they can't be arsed downloading the application they ain't demanding a whole lot.

So if you download and register with Flag before the end of the month your on 6% commission for the summer? Or do you have to refer 2 drivers as well?

[Rat Catcher]

I think you have to refer two drivers for the last month. If you're signing up please use my badge number (J5004) as your referral code. Thanks.

 Had 3 flag offers in the last 24 hrs, none of which I could do as POB at the time. 2 in city centre, 1 in Dalkey.

[Rat Catcher]

Couldn't log in. Forgot my password and the reset facility didn't work. I done a 6.5 hour shift last night, I'd estimate approximately 200 mytaxi offers.

[Bob Shillin]

Had another 4-5, again, none of which were oppurtune.

[Bob Shillin]

Never turned MT on all night. No need.

[U Wha]

Did a couple of MT pre-books during my shift trying to take advantage of the €20 offer, unfortunately both ended up being €20 plus after a gallop and both fuckers left me waiting on the busiest night of the year, turned it off after that, streets were too busy. Nearly afraid to go free on the poxy app because it had a meltdown trying to offer me jobs, never had a chance to go busy.

Shows promise, I guess. Probably on par with Hail0 in it's fledgling days... but why don't you go busy when you're too busy to accept the offers rather than giving clients false hope? Having not worked for a while before Paddy's day (down to nothing other than pure laziness) I was expecting to see a sea of pink up above in Dublin. However, I honestly haven't seen one Flag roof sign sticker on a taxi to date.

[Rat Catcher]

Had to call support myself yesterday as I forgot the passwords I set up for both the driver and rider apps and the reset links didn't work for me. Spoke with both Ted and Dave, both more than happy to help and interested in driver feedback in general so if you have any issues or suggestions for improvements drop in or give them a call.

[dalymount]

you sure it wasn't Ted, and Dougal you were talking to ?

Pope Frank visiting in August, I believe he does a good long mass.
