One of our public transport services is seeking better services in Mount Druitt to assist commuters.This service is a vital service that provides more private service than trains and buses but you pay extra for it. You probably use it for special occasions or if you have a lot of groceries or luggage to commute home or even you are running late for something and taxis will get you out of strife.
So yesterday I was speaking to a nice taxi driver and he was stating that they are fighting for amenities at Mount Druitt, so it makes their work environment safer and better. Like everyone else they are humans and all have to relieve themselves for human purposes, everyday.
The other issue that was niggling him was that that have a lot of 'runners' - not athletes that break world records - no, same as trains and taxis what is otherwise known as 'Fare evaders'. The idea is like having 'Prepaid buses' instead it would be called 'Prepaid taxis' an be a vital way fro taxi drivers to survive and live without loss of income.
Here it is : If I approached a taxi driver at Mount Druitt taxi rank and wanted to commute to Emerton - the driver would give me an estimate travel cost, for example $15. If I have a credit/debit card the driver will accept the payment of $15.00 - I sign for it. He provides a receipt for it and takes me to the destination. Once the destination is reached the exact travel cost is $13.75, thus I would have to receive a refund on the credit/debit card or he would provide cash change of $1.25. Now if the fare was $17.50 the fare will have to be paid extra by myself either by credit/debit card or cash.
Now he dilemma is I do not have a credit/debit card - then an estimated cash receipt is given for $15.00 signed by myself as the cash amount provided to the driver. Once the destination is reached the exact travel cost is $13.75, thus I would have to receive a refund of $1.25. Now if the fare was $17.50 the fare will have to be paid extra by myself either by cash.
So what do you think of this idea - it would be proposed that this would be used in certain times when this happen usually between
7 pm night and 6.30am. This will illuminate the fearless crook that steals from taxi drivers thus more smiles on taxi drivers faces and provide more trustworthy commuters. Please provide some comment.

Makes sense - sounds like a good idea. Would put a stop to all that illegal nonsense!
