Default Zingo?

Mike Hughes typed

The company has become so greedy that there is less and less incentive
to cover Taxicard work. What would you do given the knowledge that some
city businesses will allow up to £5.80 run in which Taxicard allows only
£2.40 in the suburbs or £3.40 in the central area? Taxi drivers are all
self employed businessmen and as such are out to make as much money as
they can in the shortest time possible.


Really?
I'm sure I have run-ins of up to £4!

I agree £2.40 is grossly inadequate, but I get anxious when the meter
reads £10 and I've hardly covered a couple of miles.

I am not unreasonable, use a folding wheelchair sometimes and am always
ready to travel when the cab arrives.
