      They are working on all other platforms so make sure you use Freenow, Bolt, Hola etc. if you’re going to the game!

      > The Dublin vs Japan game will take place in the Aviva Stadium…

      Now that’s a match I would pay to see

      I’ve zero sympathy for both taxis and Uber but fixed fares are a good thing IMHO.

      I remember circa 2010 taxi companies advertised fixed fares. Was great, 20 eur home from a night out. Fill the car, cheaper than night link and brought to door.

      More people would actually use Uber/taxi with the introduction of fixed fares. I avoid them as much as possible these days.

      I’d take the bus or walk before encouraging taxi drivers to use the meter more. Hate getting into a taxi not knowing how much it’s going to cost or if I’m being shafted

      So basically taxi drivers are complaining that can’t fleece customers. They have a legal set fair per km plus some extras.

      I love fixed fairs. Especially when abroad this is what makes Uber fantastic. You don’t have to worry about being double-charged, or like last night, coming back from work, it was €14 on the meter but the taxi driver said to pay him €20 in cash for the service charge and get aggressive about it. Bring on Uber.

      The sooner we introduce genuine ridesharing here and abolish the taxi stranglehold on the city, the better

      Went back to Ireland the other week and used uber. Prices of taxis in Ireland are insane! Uber drive meter was 17 when I asked to get out and said I’d pay through the app. Got the notification for €20 a few minutes later.

      Just back from Melbourne where fixed fares are in operation. You pull out yer phone and just see the price for the trip. Nothing more nothing less. It was actually great for the customer and if you are hard working like a lot of the Indian Uber drivers there are you can make a lot of money.. every time I get a taxi or Uber in Dublin I am constantly afraid the driver will take the slower route just to gain more cash and I hate that I harbor some anger towards the driver when I could just be chatting and enjoying the ride to my destination with them at the price I agreed on .

      Probably gotten worse but cost me €110 from Dublin airport to dundrum about a year ago. Never got into a taxi again.

      What I have found out is pay in cash… There’s a swing in the difference of 30 bucks as no additional charges added on the the fare

      To be fair, both taxi fares and taxi apps are ludicrous in this country.

      The one particular aspect that I find ridiculous is the idea of the Call Out fee that drivers charge.

      You’re being given work, you know the distance, and you accepted it. Why am I being charged for your commute?
