| Comment | One of their drivers mentioned a few weeks ago that he just clocked off from a 13 hour shift on a Friday evening, the company sent out a message notifying drivers that there were 280 jobs waiting in the system with no drivers, if anybody wanted to earn extra money.
I think it was said too that even though you pre book, the job doesn’t actually go live in the system until its near time to get picked up, so if there are no drivers you are screwed basically. They don’t allocate a driver a job that far in advance so pre booking is little help under the current circumstances.
I use the Gett app or the Glasgow Taxi’s app now. Both connect you to “black hacks”, but you will be allocated the nearest driver, and you can see on the map where the nearest available cabs are, like uber. You can pay by card through the app too.
Even if it might be a few quid more expensive, it’s better to be £4 worse off, than lose an hour of your time waiting around for a private that may or may not show up. |
