They are not fit for purpose…

We don’t live in Minority Report.

No need for minority report in that case :roll_eyes:

"Rachel Morrogh, chief executive of Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, said the apparent glitch in the system raised serious questions. She told the Irish Sunday Mirror: “It is extremely alarming that Raymond Shorten had a previous conviction for a sexual offence and was still driving his taxi”

Ok, system isn’t perfect. Hopefully they’ve improved it.

Is this not sexist or whatever the word is these days.

I read three quarter ways down until I realised they weren’t going to give the real reason.
Can you legally request a lady driver and can lady drivers only accept female passengers?

uber were using algorithms to charge disabled users more and to charge more if you give big tips.

The app can also read your battery level and will charge you more if it’s low.

Was talking to a taxi driver before Christmas. Uber was offering drivers 250 cash if they accepted ten jobs.

It’s a bloody shit job
I don’t care where the drivers from
It has to be one of the worst jobs I was unlucky enough to do in the past,
Stress
Nerves
Dealing with drunks , lunatics, whinging cunts on about being ripped off ( when there’s 7/8 pints onboard and they’re wondering where the bobs went )
I take my hat off to them,
Doubly so if not native Irish :ireland:,‘I made the mistake of leaving the ladder :ladder: to get a nice clean easier position-
Fuck me another disastrous decision
Thankfully I only stuck it for a year or so,
The wear on the driver is bear as bad as the wear on the :red_car:
