		<description><![CDATA[Why does Bermuda not do an island wide promotion for car pooling?  It has been done in California for decades. I see so many big vehicles with one or two people in them.  I am sure many of us would not mind bring people in town if they are going our way.  It has always seemed strange to me that this was not a thing.  There have to be apps already out there that could do this...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOLLAR .
    The minister is not going to share a taxi with me or  I with him any body else.

     Do you expect our women to go along with that shared   idea because that is  asking for trouble,you are no putting my family  at risk in a taxi  with  Jonny Walker .

     Here we go !  Bermuda is too expensive and they increase the taxi rates , what goes up never comes down.

  May be  Government can reduce the taxi  vehicle fee at  TCD on a ten year pilot  program.

  Improving the tourist business will improve the taxi business that is if they want to work.

 Want to see what  hard work is like  just go to  K.E.M.H.  nurses section 12 hour day  and night  shift work.
 Bless them all .
 Taxi drivers over heads are in excess of  gross  income .
 Sell the taxi an become a Gypsy driver .

 When  I was working for Government   I never got a nap in the afternoon.

 The taxi driver are competing with .

 private cars 
 Gypsy drivers
 buses 
 limousines
 water transport
 and 
shakes pony

  Do you want me to give  you 98 reasons why people buy cars at $50,000 a pop  ?
 #99  &amp;  #100  Its all about bad  attitudes and terrible  road manners
  The taxi business is a public service ,may be the taxi driver should dress accordingly and certainly not blue jeans and a &quot;T&quot; shirt. hey guys up the game .

  The way thing are the taxi driver who call them selves  Bermuda&#039;s ambassadors, present atire does not do much for  Bermuda&#039;s immage as a premier destination.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How many times do we  have  to tell you on the hill  that you have to &quot;give to get&quot;  you are pricing Bermuda  out of the tourist market  and here we go again increasing  the taxi tour rate for our visitors. 

 I am sure that you must be aware of and the you must know the Bermuda is a very expensive destination  land tax and import duty are crippling this island  and including T.C.D rates  are the higest on the planet.

 All this  does not help much to the point where  in comparison when we visit the USA our vacation the  cost is  half as much, and also our potential visitors  know that .
 Comparing out taxi fares to other countries does not work.
 Covid  and  Inflation  affects here and over  there, also which by the way no body does not do any thing about  that is reflected at the airport which including the city are  ghost towns.
 let me take this one step further ask your self why our  people  having  left here it is simply because they
 cannot afford to live here.
 May be the budget needs to be revised we can not survive living the old ways alocaytopm ned to be revisited.
Bermuda need to get back on it feet increasing cost of living is the wrong way to go.

  St Georges is finished .

  The taxi business  need to be subsidized  i am not hiring, which we hope will give the visitor some insentive to come here try  a free taxi voucher  to reduce the taxi fare .]]></description>
