SA is on the go and it’s out with the old, in with the new! Our mobile Hypercom terminals are being phased out and our new 675 terminal has been launched into the CBD areas of South Australia. The Live TaxiEpay 675 terminal has contactless technology (pay wave, tap n’ go), is so small it can fit in your back pocket and has lots more features that we have created just for you. So if you have a Hypercom terminal, please inquire at our office about swapping to the 675.

As predicted winter has arrived and hit us hard. Cold days and nights have kept passengers away and school holidays always mean we’re a little quieter. Adding to the pain was the introduction of another 15 licences to the market. But I must say, those drivers who are looking after their customers and keeping their cabs clean are still doing well and picking up regular work from existing clients. I have spoken with many drivers who have kept up the service and maintained good weekly sales through these harder times. It goes to show that this remains the key to success in the industry.

With Spring just around the corner, this is the best time to make sure your car and Live TaxiEpay terminal are in top condition so that you are ready to make the most of your time when passenger numbers increase again.

We have seen Germany win the world cup and now it’s back to the footy with the finals fast approaching. Let’s hope we see our SA teams get some home finals action to give us greater opportunity to catch fares at Adelaide oval.

My tip for drivers is to plan your work and work your plan for the best results. Think about where and what time to start your day to get the best results. Times are changing and I know some drivers are starting and finishing their shifts at different times and it seems to be working. So dare to think differently to maximise your opportunities.

Have a great month from the team at Live TaxiEpay

Regards Geoff
