a tip is money, if they take a tip they will be set up by the NTA and will have to answer to a judge about it.

[mercenary for hire]

I know what money is...but that's how the rickshaws are circumventing the PSV regulations.What happens if the free taxi crowd get organised and get themselves on an app?

[taxi1990]

but do the rickshaw drivers not ask for money?

[mercenary for hire]

Rickshaws just say they take tips AFAIk.There's some loophoole they're using.

Well from some of the stories I have heard  about rickshaw drivers,it would be a brave man who would offer them a tio,rather then a fare.in fact I heard much more then taxis

[taxi1990]

i have been in a rickshaw a few times, they have always asked for 5 euro, 10 euro etc. just like a taxi but they just pluck a number from the air.


these free taxis only seem to operate at times that wouldn't really interfere with taxis all that much. there is something about it i don't like though, can i set up a free pub in my house? i think drink is too expensive in pubs, so im going to set up a free one for people who cant afford to go to the pub.

[taxi1990]

i got a rickshaw once wit a friend. the trip would have been 6 or 7 euro in a taxi, the driver asked for 10 euro.

They're just gonna evolve into hacks over time.The hacks from 20 years ago never had smartphones just old fashioned radios.So they're much more of a threat to taxis than a scaldy radio hack.Anyway that's a while a way but just look at the way London uses private hire hacks to cover app jobs.

DCChad the chance to get rid of rickshaws some time ago but they bottled it.when you look at who the top men are on DCC committee,Ciaran Cuff,Owen Keegen,two committed green party members ,is it any wonder they still allow rickshaws.they got rid in Galway ,why not Dublin

might actually be better for us than uber rideshare. but their insurance should be more expensive like it is for us.

Would it be better than mytaxi rideshare?

[Rat Catcher]

...so im going to set up a free one for people who cant afford to go to the pub.

Are you taking bookings for next January?
