We have Lyft Off, yes The Cab Chat Show is back with a slightly new format and we are now also on YouTube.

I am gong to be having more guests on the show going forward, people from within the trade and also those who supply services to London’s Taxi Drivers.

I may also revisit some of the old interviews that I did over the years and then go back and try to interview those people again to see if their views and opinions have changed of the trade.

Most of the shows will now be recorded in the back of a taxi as I do not have another venue to conduct these interviews and I personally think that being as the show is called Cab Chat recording from within a Taxi is probably the best place to record them.

We will also beiong doing the old format Cab Chat Show like we did in the past and I may try to get the old team back together to see what they are all doing these days, we just need to find somewhere that would lend us a venue to be able to achieve this.

FreeNow has been acquired by Lyft the American ride sharing company and I ask the question? What is the difference between a driving being on FreeNow and being on Uber?

If you would like to get involved with Cab Chat you can contact me via the website https://cabchatshow.uk
