Taxi complaining again

Terrontress · 2007-05-09 08:53:19

Did anyone see the letter from the taxi driver in the Metro this morning? Calling for public transport plans to be scrapped as it will result in lower earnings for taxis! That is hardly common sense!

Thought it was a great wind up myself.
Expect a flurry of outraged letters in the next few days.

Total windup. That's almost as crazy as the idea of publicans calling for breath testing to be scrapped as it affects their drink sales. Oh, wait...

Step 1: Open a Drink Driving Checkpoint 100m from a pub at about 11PM
Step 2: Profit.

Taxi drivers make enough money. Last year, some of them were on the radio last year saying how they made very good money from driving a taxi.
