So you want to drive a taxi

If you want to drive a taxi there is no need to sign up with a company and give them an outrageous amount each week, or get a permit from the local city or county government, just get a sign and a meter and go pick up people.

This is part of the reason there have been taxi strikes in Ireland and other places
too many legal cab's and more illegal ones daily.

For 850 euros you can buy a meter and a sign that looks like the real deal, what a deal, that's less then 2 weeks lease at most cab company's.
