Taxi Drivers

What you mean, didn’t cost me the coffee

He was having a slow shit by the sounds of it and prob enjoying the serenity of the time to himself…

He probably knocked one off as well

Found no signs in the sink anyway.

My taxi driver from the airport yesterday was an Indian gentleman. Normally when I’m getting a taxi from the airport and tell the surly Dub that I’m only going to Sutton and he’ll only be getting 25 notes there is a stony grudging silence all the way.

This wasn’t the case with George who appeared happy to have me in the cab. He chanced an opening about cricket and when it appeared that I had some knowledge of the game we were away in a hack. Chatted all the way about great games we had seen, the shite that is 20/20 and the IPL. His son is on the Irish under 17 panel. A grand trip.

What kind of tip would you leave on a €25 journey?

Bring it up to 30 if the chap is any way civil.

€175m seems like fairly small change in the scheme of those type of deals.

Fuck all.

Bolt is where its at with the added benefit of it being european

A few protests already from taxi drivers about the fixed price Uber fares.

It’s Christmas Day for the students in Limerick tomorrow and about 100 drivers are planning to not be online for it.

What is the actual issue with knowing the price up front? It’s been like that on the mainland always afair.

Nice of The Islamabadi Taxi Drivers Union to offer their support

Always thought their fight back over card payments was hilarious, we all knew it was tax related. But citing the banks only paying them days later etc. Do the rest of us get paid immediately per job we do in work?

They can’t fiddle the fare after. I’ve had to request a few refunds with uber where drivers have somehow added a €10-15 extra to the fare.

You actually pay the fare up front on the mainland now, before you’re collected.
