New badge holder getting his licence tomorrow… Been ringing around and has called here . There are no cabs to hire !! Unfortunately he is redundant as of tomorrow. How is that a good look ?
Back on the phone this morning as not sourcing elsewhere … This situation when someone wants to join our trade and actually has cannot go and earn a living . Is the knowledge now pointless if we cannot offer employment?
We will be supplying this new driver to the taxi fold on Monday.We are getting this man employed and plying. Unfortunately at the loss of a driver who has consistently paid late and part paying over the week together with untold PCNs that drain a company’s resources and energies
Cab shortage is factual. 12 mths June 1 2025 - 31May 2026 the number of cabs in London dropped by 893 (14,502 to 13,609) The number of drivers dropped 680 (16,615 to 15,935). This reverses previous trend. Unless drivers can double, more will be driven out of work.
Well !! There is a certain governing body that has successfully succeeded in making the self employed REDUNDANT!There are no cabs to rent and it’s not even September. 8 hour wait for some and many told to come back tomorrow. Similar to the DEPRESSION.. You you and you ! Can work
It is regret we have had to increase our rental prices for the first time in over 10 years . We cannot absorb the costs government impose on businesses so to keep you on the road . Apologies for this but this is a government induced must !!
What shortage … Nothing to see here .
It’s getting tough to supply …
It will worsen !
Just a gentle warning ..
However we will always try to accommodate.
But will not tolerate slow remuneration for services provided. That ship has sailed hopefully with no virus on board !
This film will promote/highlight our trade and put bums on seats … 2 pounds a head per driver of the trade
You will get it back .. and you will not miss it now . 1 tip that’s all it is
If your rental company is not giving you the ability to use the JUMP APP where work is increasing by the day the answer is to JUMP GARAGES …We offer that APP service and the extra income it gives you … Many have JUMPed this way already .Do not sit idle when many earn !!
Not to everyone’s liking but a definite replacement for the Vito which currently is at its newest 9 years old and getting very tired.. With rumours flying around of the possibility of no vehicle being available to purchase any time soon this may have to be implemented in London
