Alan Fox has been appointed mytaxi's new general manager for Ireland.

With 20 years experience in the financial services and tech sector, Mr Fox joins the company as it embarks on further service and expansion and fleet upgrade.

"This is an exciting and dynamic time for mytaxi and we strongly believe Alan’s diverse management, business development and marketing expertise in technology and consumer sectors is a strong fit as we push to build on our success in Ireland," Regional Manager with responsibility for Ireland at mytaxi, Andy Batty, said.

Mr Fox worked as Sales & Marketing Director at AA Ireland for five years and has held senior positions in Telefonica, Zurich Insurance and Meteor Mobile.

I was well aware of Daimler's autonomous vehicle ambitions, Doc. In fact it was one of Daimler's brand CEOs that coined the phrase "airbnb on wheels". We can't halt progress but we can work to secure our place in the future.

You and me wont have a future Rodent we wont comply so we will be jetosoned .

Our future is behind us... but we should be thinking of the next generation of drivers, we are merely custodians of our trade.

Not to often you get to quote Shakespear on a taxi forum but the warning to Julius Ceasar before he got stabbed in the back was beware the ides of March ..Today is the Ides of March ...The actual quote is from Shakespeare's tragedy Julius Caesar (1599). The warning is uttered by a soothsayer who is letting Roman leader Julius Caesar know that his life is in danger, and he should probably stay home and be careful when March 15th, the Ides of March, rolls around....This new bloke at Mytaxi is watching your back .

The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven above. Upon the place beneath it is twice blessed...

on a daily basis you express  fear of the future, and of the would be employers who pull tour strings.yet the most simple solution is staring  you in the face and you cannot see it.

WITHDRAW YOUR SERVICES FROM APPS, CAB COMPANIES, ETC ETC  take back control of your industry.

for men so intelligent ., its hard to believe that you have the answer in your hands and cannot see it.

surely it stands to reason that you call the shots because you can operate without them, but they cannot operate without you. i swear i will NEVER understand the logic of taxi drivers

[Rat Catcher]

If there was a co-op alternative that could be an option. However, we can't halt progress no matter how much we seek to hinder it hence the obvious solution is to work with the innovators to secure our (most likely) ever-decreasing role in the future.

Ah Dalymount .The standard of taxi driver varies .A lot of drivers would dig up the corpse of their dead mother and butt fuck it for a fare .If we dont cover the app work the other bloke will.As FDS once said this is a part time gig .I warned against Workcapture on Roys but nobody wanted to listen .Wont be long now before the apps start dropping certain drivers who dont cover enough jobs .

[dalymount]

i see the drivers want to give YET ANOTHER FUCKING APPS foothold into the game, this crowd flag.

in the north of Ireland, its compulsory to be aligned to a radio company. that is not the case here, but the drivers are  making it become that way.
