Project

* To promote Irish and non-Irish Taxi Drivers in Galway City.

* To reinforce community security via private taxi drivers operating with Local Taxis, e.g. if you are attacked and rang a Friend, their delay may prove crucial. Calling Local Taxis, however, will result in a swift and professional response.

* To encourage co-operation, and working as a team to achieve our goals.

* To offer excellent service whilst enabling our customers to save money.

* To create a helpful and caring community.

4. Printed receipt systems

5. G.P.S. systems

6. Passenger extra care

7. Map reading and orientation

After the training those who wish to work with, or gain work experience through, Local Taxis are highly welcome to do so, even in a voluntary capacity.
