We are facing into the Christmas period. Generally the view is that it will be chaotic with regard to taxi drivers. I will move on to buses next. Something is not working with regard to taxis. If taxi drivers are switching off apps and can pick up fares on the street then by definition there is a problem with the system.
In most cases, the consumer relies on the app. For security reasons, if young people are coming out a restaurant, they will go on the app.
