Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
I find this really quite fascinating ... back around 1990, I bought myself a couple of Taxis and really enjoyed my time in the industry. Now I am down to one and still enjoy going out on the road. I don't know how it works in Accy, but in Kingston all the cabs are privately owned. The companies provide, for a fee called Stand Rent, dispatch services, etc. The local Taxi commission takes care of licensing, vehicle inspections, fare rates etc. We very rarely experience problems that you guys seem to have.
Not to long ago, there was an article in the local rag about cabbies. The title was: "Cabbies, You Can Trust Them; but Can They Trust You"? Just a few thoughts on something I find interesting and confusing. |

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
I thought I'd signed this once but I don't seem to be there so I've done it again. Maybe I forgot to respond to the email.

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
I still didn't get the email. Maybe it's being blocked as spam or something - so even though I've tried to sign, it won't be accepted. :(

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
I wonder if it's possible to change my position on the list?
At present I'm the filling on a Gayle and Neil sandwich.
