Boycott Addison Lee

So the drivers are forced to lie that they have already dropped off their last passenger so they can get another job and make some money.

This is incorrect, as AL use reasonably sophisticated auto-allocate software. It is possible to cheat the system, but not in the way that you describe, as the software relies on GPS location to allocate work, ie you might clear the job before you're actually clear, but you still won't be close enough to the next job to be allocated to it.

Bill, I know well that this is all stuff you know about, but I did hear that AL jobs are often taken by the 'first responder' who is on the patch. Perhaps that is out-of-date, or just crap, I can't say I heard it direct from a driver. Is it possible there is still a scramble even with the GPS system if several cars are within radius?

Sad to hear that AL are just the best-known PHC exploiters rather than the worst.

Directors sitting at boardroom tables shiny with the sweat and blood of others. Still AL do deserve to be picked with Griffin coming out with the old 'we pay road tax, so cyclists should shut it'.
