Lucky you - many Brighton cabbies DON'T know where they're going and ask for directions. God knows why they don't use Sat Nav. Last time I used a local firm the cabbie got all shitty because I wanted to pay by card - f**k em, they don't want to offer a decent service so I will buy that service...

Because the App and the IT infrastructure to support it just happened by an act of god - no costs involved !

YOU claim ALL 48 rapes were by Uber drivers and NONE back Black Cab drivers yet the Met state they don't collate company information - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/taxi-drivers-uber-charged-violent-sexual-offences-london-a6988286.html YES, some rapes were clearly committed by Uber...

Hence the random quote comment. You've found one single case of a London Uber driver being convicted of rape and used it as evidence that all 48 convictions were of Uber drivers. Yet the Met police say they don't collate that data. I might as well use the recent case of a B&H bus driver sexually...

If I remember rightly you drive / drove for Streamline did you not ?

We can all play the random post game ..... http://www.brightonandhovenews.org/2017/05/09/brighton-cabbie-loses-licence-over-sex-with-16-year-old/

You suggest taxi driving is a profession - it might well be BUT my experience of local companies is that they fail to put the word 'professional' in profession. I've lost count over the years how many times I've had to give directions to 414141, 204060 etc cabs to get home. They are meant to do...

Brilliant service and always use them when I need a cab. Really not sure what people's issues are with them.

204060 are the same company as 414141. Thank you for your constructive advice .... maybe instead the local taxi firms could get some customer service training ?

Ring 202020 and you get a white and green cab with 202020 on the side - go to East Street and you get a white and green cab with 202020 on the side. Are you suggesting they are different ? They may well be self employed and working under the 202020 banner but that makes it even more remarkable...

Type into your phone now a request for a FIVE seater Uber taxi .... can you get one ? Now try getting one from 414141 ..... can you get one ? The answer is NO. So I'm forced to use the crap service from 202020. Hence why I want Uber to expand quickly and put 'services' such as 202020 on the...

Well after last nights fiasco with 202020 cabs I'll definitely be using Uber whenever it's possible. Needed a cab for 5 to North Road and the driver started taking some very strange detours but I thought he might well know a better route via back streets than me. That was until we ended up at...

Well that's me sold - just used Uber for the first time from New Steine Hotel ( half way along St James ). Turned up quickly and was the lower end of the estimate. £13.26 when the quote was £13 - £17. Minus the £10 intro fee and I got home for £3.26. It would usually cost me more than £15 to get...

I work in Southwick and just out of curiosity I looked for an Uber cab at lunchtime. It was showing £8-£11 to get me home - it would normally cost me around £12. I'm in town tomorrow night and will be trying to get an Uber home ( West Street currently has a car so hopefully I'll be OK. Assuming...

Until Brighton cabbies recognise they provide a service that is highly overpriced and comes with bugger all customer service then they deserve everything they get. For far too long the cabbies of Brighton have acted as a mafia - look what they did d to the Tuk Tuks. Nope - time to grow up and...

My address and number blanked ? Really ? I used them to come home and no issues so clearly you're talking bollocks .... as usual.

That's what I did and yet not ONE company could guarantee I would even get a cab ..... at all !

I was booking an HOUR ahead !

Thank you. As yet those that have criticised have yet to provide a practical answer to what I should have done ! That said, you're last point is a fair one - maybe I should have phoned the other companies. What I will say though is that they are in the customer service industry and given my...
