Evening Taxi prices to increase by 20% because that will help with the supply issue. Apparently.

1. Any safeguards being put in place to mitigate against taxi driver price gouging?

2. Maybe they will be able to buy real Desert Eagles instead of replicas with that extra cash.

3. £5 min fare and £2 a mile at weekends. RIP nightlife.

4. Or there will be even less taxis on the road as even less people wil be getting them as so fucking expensive.

   I know among my mates (late 30 early 40s) we’d all get last trains and buses etc now home and have done since COVID as fuck that standing around for ages not even knowing if your taxi is going to turn up.

5. Does that really make a difference when you have to bribe the taxi drivers to even take you in the 1st place?

6. Is the issue with taxis that they’re not profitable enough to attract drivers? cos this seems more likely to drive down demand rather than increase supply. With the upshot being less people in town in the evenings.
   Incoming headline – “*Millennials are killing the evening drinks industry*”

7. 20% seems a massive jump. How did they decide on that?
