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.

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. :(

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. :(

I've also struggled since yesterday evening Willow, first it wouldn't let me on the site then i never received the e-mail. But have tried again and also received the email. So keep at it.

My Hubby is a Taxi driver and its awful that they are sometimes all tarred with the same brush. Hopefully this will divide the crap from the good.

Petition Signed :)
