๐งA common assumption on 9/10 occasions is that your Standard Hackney Carriage Taxi is more expensive than the likes of your large private hire operator.
โ Thatโs not always the case, Hackney Carriage vehicles have a Tariff change which changes at a set time every day (not when the driver feels like it).
๐
This evening on one occasion (out of 3 reported that we are aware of) private hire companies (one specifically) charged almost double what the cost of a Hackney carriage taxi would charge for the same journey, on the journey out the fare was almost quadrupled!
๐ธAs children people are always taught not to get into a car with a stranger, and to be cautious of your surroundings when out and about.
โ๏ธSo why would you jump into a car with a stranger that doesnโt:-
- hold a conversation
- break down barriers when your in a vulnerable position to ease the awkwardness/nerve of jumping into a vehicle with a stranger.
- Undergo stringent police background vetting.
- Willingly undertake additional safeguarding & disability training courses
ยฃ17.95 for a journey which costs ยฃ12.30 in a Hackney Carriage taxi.
Thatโs instantly a ยฃ5.65 saving, if youโre lucky thatโs an extra ๐บ.
Why not support local when you can?
