Worthing?
Dickhead. They don't need the knowledge - they're on designated routes.REDLAND said:Tyrone Beane, who has driven a cab in Brighton and Hove for more than 30 years, said: "It's a sore point with everybody. It's not fair. All the money we pay to do the business we do and they come along without a knowledge test or anything."
Tom Hark said:Will they handle the steep gradients of our town tho? Could they hack taking, say, two lardasses, or even one, from Brighton station up the racecourse without tipping up backwards. Methinks not, tho I'd pay GOOD MONEY to see them try
Trotster said:The definatly make it up the hill to the Racecourse - we held the launch events up here yesterday! They are great little things, lots of fun. They are also giving free rides in town this Friday, Saturday and SUnday so get on one!!!!

Dover said:I have been on two today. They are awful. Just as I suspected they are and I quote form the drivers, "forty year old machinery that has been brought up to our standards by spending a couple of grand on each of them."
These are the facts. They can carry three people. Each seat, and believe me I do use that term in the loosest sense costs £2.50 a pop. There is a flat fee, and no freedom type ticket.
They are as I suspected woefully underpowered, and struggled to get to their top speed of 30mph, and yes they may be "clean" but stink of two stoke oil.
They have a bench back seat, which is not very comfortable, so if stuck in traffic they will be awful. Unlike a taxi, which can go any way you or the driver wishes.
Entry with the doors, yes doors, is shocking. And there is the highlight of the day with kids trying to TukTuckhack the little things.
Before the inevitable collision happens, they will be bankrupt in six months. I for one will never go in one again.
