Woman 'felt unsafe' after Capital Cars driver 'ranted' at her and demanded cash

How many strikes before your out.
Capital Cars at it again with young FEMALE.
READ, SHARE & WARN OTHERS.

Stephanie Wilson told Edinburgh Live that the driver: "started to rant at me, telling me a pretty girl like me would never end up in his position because I would always be able to get a man to provide for me." She also said she was left disappointed with Capital Cars' response to her complaint.

Avoid Harry lauder Road.
Thursday morning.

I know there is mega road works in the city, but there is NO need to drive on the WRONG side of the road. Another foreign PHC driver.
It's not just his life that's at risk.

Another safety message. Please use a Black Licenced Taxi. Especially single females.

Here we go again
Taxi taxi taxi /
Taxi driver.
When will people learn the difference.
Turns out to be a Private Hire Car. ( will it be all the 7's or all the 5's or maybe another bogus car & driver).
IT'S NOT A LICENCED BLACK TAXI.
Can't wait to see the guy when he's revealed. Gps & cctv will catch him hopefully.
& hope the young lad makes a speedy recovery.
The more people use PHC, thinking their saving money, ( when all the meters are the exact same & set by the council, with the exception of UBER, who just rip everyone off, the better society will be). The longer they haunt our city with things like this it will only get worse.
To many incidents not being reported /released by the council and police, like passengers being assaulted, young single females attacked. Its disgraceful. Please feel free to share.
Download a safe app from Central Taxis, City Cabs or Gett.
These drivers didn't study the streets to gain their ( brief / knowledge badge and pass the police tests for no reason).
-------------
Question: Would you feel safe boarding a plane, knowing the only pilot was a rookie ?
Would you use an unqualified electrician to wire your house ?
Ask a rogue builder to do your extension ?
See a witchdoctor before going to hospital for NHS treatment ?
If you answered Yes to any of them, keep using PHC.
If you are of sound mind and answered No. Think before using inferior Transport links and use real Taxis, you know the big black ones that have been crash tested for a reason, that'll be to keep you safe.

2020-2021 leagues

These strange times have brought widespread frustration on multiple levels. We all understand football's not the be all and end all, nor remotely close. It's nonetheless been a long and challenging wait to finally be in a position to put to bed lingering uncertainties in respect of next season's leagues. An email from league secretary David Baxter just over an hour ago confirmed Bo'ness United had their SFA associate membership officially ratified at the association's Tuesday AGM, meaning a formal announcement of next season's structure can take place.

Our champions Bo'ness will now play Lowland League football next season - it'd be a surprising disappointment to see them at tier six again in future as they're undoubtedly well-equipped to establish themselves further up.

Congratulations are due not only to the BUs but also to Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts, whose promotion to the Premier Division is also confirmed. Considering the Swifts' senior team only came into being in 2018, their feat's not at all unremarkable - our best wishes to Swifts for the exciting challenges ahead.

Without further ado, here's an image many have waited to see for some time. Feast your eyes on this.

Uber & black cab drivers must go through criminal checks every six months

Well this should maybe cut the PHC in half.
Mind you the law is so lenient nowadays.
& our Licence department are so far behind trying to update our badges and cab tests, how on earth are they going to do this.
No doubt we'll be paying for it.
Most Black cabbies have Full disclosures anyway, so why the hell are we being targeted. ?

Please share this with one and all to ease the confusion of where and when to wear a mask.
https://www.facebook.com/362771440484946/posts/3026956660733064/

😷 As some groups of people are exempt, understanding the rules around face coverings on public transport and in particular taxis can be confusing.

Staff such as drivers who are physically separated, by means of, for example, screens, from other staff and passengers are also exempt from wearing face coverings.

You may also have a reasonable excuse not to wear a face covering and full details can be found here on the ScotGov website 👉🏻 https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-phase-2-staying-safe-and-protecting-others/pages/face-coverings/
