Anyone used them yet?

I got the app but don't wanna order one only to be abandoned 5 mins before the table's booked.

Not used them in boro, I think there is an offer though so your trip will likely cost next to nothing.

I use UBER/Bolt in London and recently in Birmingham, and never had an issue.

It will be the same families running them.......

Used them once , no issues , good prices ( at the moment ) 👍

Used it the other night to get a workmate home from Boro Centre to Darlington - £7.50

Johnny Thunder

That is really cheap.



I'm sure the last time we used Boro to Darlo train station it was 28 notes.

Reidydog

I think it was a discounted rate for new customers.

rutters

Right, I'm taking the plunge.

Do I still have to pay in advance through the app?

Did you pay in advance on the app or can you pay the driver?

You would struggle to do it cheaper in your own motor!

Use Boro cars mate, they'll be late, won't be able to find your house and then get lost on the way to the airport.

Spot on.

A load of Uber cars got their back windows smashed in the town by young scrotes on bikes. Rumour is they where paid by taxi drivers from a certain other firm.

I'm using Uber and another app company in Krakow called bolt taxis here are a lot cheaper using these apps and you have to check both as one can be cheaper than the other and the service is excellent compared to the UK and usually there with in max 10 mins another example of rip off UK

I suppose they are lucky it's not their back doors getting smashed in,,
