And, in contrast to other opinions on the green light, I believe this is 'dog whistle' racism. I recall a few years ago some tried to put tricolours on their roof signs.
Whatever about extra lights on the roof, some of them need to learn how to use the lihght they currently have!
On Sunday evening I left The Point and went looking for a taxi. As I walked up the quay I raised my arm to flag down 5 taxis that had their 'For Hire' light lit. All of them already had passengers on board as they whizzed by me.

On the subject of it being a luxury - why?
In other cities with a decent public transport system, a taxi is very much a luxury. In Dublin it is more of a necessity but it is priced as a luxury.
I was thinking of somewhere like New York where taxis are pretty cheap. But yes, I agree with you.
People from the south got no chance of going home, those from the north could go home once, apply for whichever passport they didn't have and then head back.
sure why would a capital city need a bus/train service after 11 at night!!!!
Once shared a gaff with an aussie girl who worked in Tempebar at weekends. Always had to get a taxi home if she finished work after 12 as the buses had stopped. Crazy...
I've been to big towns on the continent where the public bus service runs for about 18-20 hours a day, even if on reduced numbers in less social hours
Taxi rates are the maximum fare they are allowed to charge. They are free to charge less. Some firms advertise that they charge X% less than what's on the meter.
