jamesogt Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Apologies, my mistake, it is fare plus half today. When was this announced? I thought it was +£2? They haven't 'announced' it as such. As they are now the biggest taxi firm they think they can make themselves a bit more money. 3 cabs last night, total spend £6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesogt Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Fuel at its lowest since 2008, heading allegedly towards 86p a litre. No reduction in standard taxi fares? So all the difference between 97p a litre and 1.35 a litre is now additional earnings....Maybe the council should be reviewing the prices down, taxi companies were quick to plead poverty as prices rose. 16 free rides now on Uber, used in Sheffield, Manchester, London and Boston USA. My pub run is £1.50 cheaper on Uber. How/why people haven't caught on yet I don't know. And now it is using Rotherham drivers it is surging less and there are more cars available. Just got my rating too, 40+ journeys and i'm averaging 4.9, perfect customer . Edited January 29, 2016 by jamesogt Whoops litre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmourDesign Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Do UBER taxis have the same road exemptions as registered taxis? Can they use bus lanes and traffic gates etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiggs Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Do UBER taxis have the same road exemptions as registered taxis? Can they use bus lanes and traffic gates etc? In the UK Uber are registered private hire. They follow all the same rules and have all the same advantages as City the difference is a superior app and international recognition.

They dont seem to have any external licensing apart from the door stickers. So anyone could just get a couple of UBER stickers and beat the rush hour traffic?
