another a hole who expects drivers to work for nothing in the name of competition

A new app for smart phones has been launched to help private hire companies compete in the GPS driven market place.

British firm Zoom is a cloud-based driver dispatch system designed to help private hire firms.

It makes dispatch simpler, saves customers money and helps grow business.

Zoom.taxi provides software to offer solutions for dispatchers, drivers and customers operating in local markets feeling the pressure of companies such as Uber.

Using a cloud based driver dispatch system it allows customers, drivers and dispatchers to benefit from the latest technology whilst only paying for what they use.

From as little as 18p a journey, zoom.taxi allows users to use the latest technology whilst maintaining the local link with customers and drivers and includes an app for drivers, passengers, a booking website and dispatcher.

The technology was developed in response to a request for help from a leading private hire business in Manchester who had a two-fold problem of drivers leaving and consequently unable to service its customers.

Matthew Kendall, CEO for zoom.taxi said the ECJ's ruling is "positive news for both the industry and for consumers."

He said: "The more businesses in the market, the more competitive it will be and the more responsive to consumer needs. There have been concerns that Uber is using a predatory pricing strategy which in business terms drives rivals out of the market then allows them a monopoly and then control both prices and wages.

"Our aim is that smaller companies can compete and keep the market healthy. The Advocate General's ruling goes some way to helping this and stopping billionaire backers from what Boris Johnson accused of breaking taxi licensing laws in 'lots of minor ways'."

Try lowering your base rent and get rid of any stupid company rules and you might keep more drivers :roll:
Ask yourself why drivers keep leaving and why you cant replace them ?

The reason drivers leave isn't rocket science it's because greedy feckless keep taking on more drivers when they don't have enough work for the ones they have.

Where do you get 18p per mile from? As i read it you pay the app company 18p for every job they provide.

I think 18p a job is quite good.

I suspect many of us pay between 50p and a £1 a job.
