      Good luck. I support most go slows or strikes but this is pointless. Just highlighting Ubers Offer that seems fair and is within rules of Irish law.

      Note: why don’t they just set up their own Dublin taxi app that takes less fees and has set prices to complete with Uber I don’t think anyone would complain about this.

      Will any taxi driver answer the question, why don’t ya just move to other apps?

      Is this just a Dublin issue? Most I know where I am are on Freenow or I can just hop in at the rank if I’m in town and it’ll be near €10 home after a few pints.

      Seems like enough of the herd are annoyed enough to switch apps if they really wanted to.

      This whole protest is ridiculous, it’s ONE app.
      It’s like truck drivers blocking roads because ONE petrol station upped their fees.

      They’re hardly protesting against Uber, because what Uber is doing is perfectly legal and clearly a massive demand of the people (fixed rate journeys) so does that mean they’re protesting the general public?

      They seem to have a lot of time on their hands, the way they talk you’d think they’d be too busy trying to earn money.

      So… they’re shooting themselves in the foot even more and ensuring that those who don’t care about these fixed fares get all the work?

      Cunts. That is all.

      Edit, I lie, entitled bastards I should have said. The C word is a pretty shitty word but it shows where they’re putting themselves i suppose.

      Meanwhile there’s drivers still using uber making hay while the others make signs

      Most of the world has largely evolved past the idea of traditional taxi drivers. It’s time for the government to reduce the regulation so that the traditional Uber model as seen in England is available here. It’s only in Ireland that I even use traditional taxis

      I do sympathise with the genuine taxi drivers here who treat their customers right but we’ve all been there when the taxi insists their card machine is broken or taking the scenic route hoping you don’t notice, these types of taxi drivers are just fearful now and on the back foot knowing full well the public is tired of their shit and want an alternative.

      I’m very against Ubers pricing model long term as it’s predatory but when they offer a better and more transparent service, the public will go for it as a better alternative and avoid being scammed.

      The irony of the redditor rage against taxi drivers who are trying to prevent the erosion of their wages VERSUS /r/ireland redditors when a WFH thread is posted. Classic reddit.

      iykyk.

      The workers of Ireland should retaliate with a taxi boycott for a week after.

      Nice that they are fucking the public over to protest against a private company

      At least it’ll take a large amount of absolute shite drivers off the road

      Hope this means I’ll be able to WFH all next week then. I shall reply with my answer when I ask tomorrow!

      The fact they are protesting the idea of a fixed fare and not the percentage split with Uber, says all it needs to about their priorities. 

    20. TobeConfirmd on

      I’m confused about these fixed fares. I’ve only had a quick look but it seemed to me that the fixed fare was between the min and max cost it would take to get from my house to my destination based on the tfi estimate calculator, so are the taxi drivers mad that they can’t go to the max amount every time? Or that they can’t take longer routes?
      If so then they are taking the piss.

      These lads think they can hold hole cities ransom!
