Correct me if I am being stupid but Taxifirst already had the work and they were asked to cut their prices. How is that an attractive business proposition? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

well one way to save would be to get the parents who don't work to take them , when they apply for there kids transport they should be asked do you work? if they say no well give them a £5 fuel allowance per week, if they do work well fair enough

Quite.

Do/did the council really think small, or one man, firms are really well placed to wait months for their money?

I bet the prices have been driving down to a point where the drivers swerve them. I bet they're better off working the streets than doing a school run.

If you go back to the original post you will see that the council cancelled all contracts and started again to try and save £350,000. Taxifast had most of the contracts and basically told the council to do one.
