Mr Fox told The Irish Times that driver numbers in the Republic had fallen by nearly a quarter since 2008 as the State approaches full employment. Under current regulations, taxi drivers in the Republic are restricted in the amount they can charge passengers. Mr Fox said his company was keen to see more flexibility on pricing in all markets it operated in. Flexible pricing was another possible incentive that could help increase the number of taxi drivers in Ireland, he said. Mr Fox said that, while his company had experienced technical issues following the migration over from Hailo, he felt MyTaxi was highly regarded by users.
