derek smalls Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Thought this had been stopped by Bolton council. Star Cars w/hton were at it from 6pm Christmas eve. Cheeky fekkers. £5 for 1 mile Quote
gonzo Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 To be fair any bar staff working get double pay. So why shouldn't cabbies. Quote
jazza Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Would you go to work on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day for single time? Quote
jazza Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 If I had a complaint about festive transport it is the lack of public transport on Boxing Day... No buses or trains at all.. That's fuckin stupid when all sport and sales are on. Quote
no balls Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Would you go to work on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day for single time? Depends if they celebrate it or not. Quote
derek smalls Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 Depends if I celebrated Christmas. Someone told me that the council had barred them from doing it Quote
jazza Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 We all celebrate it up here tbf so never thought of that Quote
Guest Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Depends if I celebrated Christmas. Someone told me that the council had barred them from doing it http://www.bolton.gov.uk/website/pages/Taxifaresetting.aspx (e) Christmas - For each hiring commenced after 7.00pm on 24th December and before 6.00am on 26th December - Double Fare. For each hiring commenced after 6.00am on 26th December and before 6.00am on 27th December - Fare + 50%. Quote
DaisyHWanderer Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Haslam and ace aba were both single fare yesterday. Quote

Gonk Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Depends if I celebrated Christmas. Someone told me that the council had barred them from doing it So now we know the truth, go and find the someone who told you and punch them firmly in the mouth. Quote
Breightmet Boy Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 North West Taxis last Boxing Day charged double and I was quite happy to pay it because they were honest enough to tell me that as I was booking, good honest drivers and company in my eyes Quote
derek smalls Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 So now we know the truth, go and find the someone who told you and punch them firmly in the mouth. i could, or i could just casually mention it. it is what it is i suppose, vote with your feet and all that. there`s a lot of the asian companies haven`t done it for years so i just presumed it was stopped. didnt realise they had done it voluntary Quote
Carlos Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 I reckon they should be able to charge more on Eid or whatever, Ramadan in summer when they've got 6 hours to eat and they are ferrying scutters around. Quote
dave2980 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 The use of single fare over the Christmas and New Year period is a joint initiative to discourage drink driving Quote
Freddie_Hill Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 You'd be an idiot to drink Drive. It's a bloody soap powder. Quote
DazBob Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 I reckon they should be able to charge more on Eid or whatever, Ramadan in summer when they've got 6 hours to eat and they are ferrying scutters around. Haha I can imagine the reaction to,"It's double fare bruv, cos I'm fasting innit." Quote
