Taxi Driver Online :: View topic - Less cabs, higher fares in Edinburgh

No they dont, thats a lie, they might do ok in a busy time but during week most make no more than a pittance

Where I work a PH can easily earn more than a HC, if they have a good school run and work the radio properly. :shock:

Many cab drivers are more than happy to sit around moaning to one another about PH, all the time the PH are driving past them full of punters.

One day those cab drivers might actually work out how to earn a good living in this trade.

I think it's called doing what the customer wants, not what you want. :-$

Tell me something, are all these Ph making a living at the expense of the taxi fleet and increasing exponentially in the market place while our market share is contracting? :shock:

works both ways skull the more Ph on the road means my market share goes down as well and i dont mean to be rude but in any job i have done there has always been compeitition.

The rules dont work for both side in my view.

Every market advantage we had has now been handed over to the Ph and the days of expecting all the call work to come to the trade are over. Alan Johnston chairman of Central Taxi predicted this about seven years ago while it was proposed to bring the Ph into the company. Needless to say he was shouted down it seems history is repeating itself only now time is running out. I wonder when the fall in profits will hit rock bottom and level off?
