## Resource

Dublin taxi drivers are rebelling against big apps like Uber and FreeNow, which take hefty commissions. Two local alternatives, Tap a Taxi and Hola Taxi, are gaining traction with lower fees and driver ownership options. Drivers appreciate these new apps for fairer pay, no algorithms, and more job opportunities. Tap a Taxi is expanding to more regions, while Hola Taxi is ramping up hiring. If they gain critical mass, drivers could earn more without the corporate squeeze, potentially leading to regulatory updates. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
