Priority number one with the PLP, don’t upset the core voting base.

Oh sure, a few, a very few taxi drivers will swing vote. Some will abstain from voting. But the majority will obediently vote green yet again. They will vote for the very people responsible for the loss of so many hotel beds, and hence business for taxis.

They will also provide free transportation to the polls for people they think will also vote green.

Not the brightest lights on the Christmas tree.

Ronald,

The PLP Government is soft peddling it so as not to upset taxi drivers (like you) and other transportation providers. But you are correct. This is only the beginning.

UBER won’t be here, they take too big a cut, Certain elite PLP cornered the market on legally allowed transport Apps. Unfortunately they decided to profit their own personal pockets instead of helping generate income for the Government funds to help generate monies to pay off the debt. Currently we cant really afford the interest without cutting services like road maintenance for many years. I’m surprised the Peoples campaign haven’t marched on parliament over HITCH and this rideshare. Where is the hunger strike?

THIS IS JUST THE FIRST STEP TO THE INTRODUCTION OF UBER IN THE ISLAND OF BERMUDA.
THAT’S WHY IT IS BEING CLASSIFIED AS A TEST RUN.

Sounds like you don’t understand how the fee for the app per ride works.

Why do you always make silly comments like a child? The drivers profit and the customers profit because we will actually be able to get a cab instead of taxi’s just parking up outside the airport and hotels. You know this but still will make your dumb comments

Where was the RFP for the App? How many applications were made or is this another ResQuest cover up, aka Hitch? BTO should be able to assist since they will be forced to use it.

It helps to have a functioning website when making a statement about where the only information available is supposedly listed.

What app is being used, who owns it and who’s family benefits from it? Was an RFP put out there, because I didn’t see one? Full Transparency. The taxi Drivers need to know who is scraping their industry and devaluing the saleable taxi licence value to a negligable amount.
