You should be OK about 12Over for the match this weekend and wondering what availability of taxis is like on a Saturday nite in the City Centre after midnight?? Headin back to Go Urban beside the ground.
Plenty of ranks, after midnight the queues aren’t too bad. They get long and at times unruly a couple of hours later.Over for the match this weekend and wondering what availability of taxis is like on a Saturday nite in the City Centre after midnight?? Headin back to Go Urban beside the ground.
Don’t go Uber. They will have their surcharge on a Saturday night and you will get fleeced.Loads around central station. Failing that set up an Uber account.
Do the busses still run all night down there. Dated a girl from clarkston 20 years ago and busses running all night just blew my mind. They always stopped about midnight up hereEasier on the bus

Similar in Glasgow mate.Not really helping the OP but I was reading about NYC taxi "medallions". Quite interesting(probably not for most)really that the amount of "medallions"(permit to work in NYC) are only in a limited supply and no new ones have been issued since its inception in the 1930s so these medallions can go for up to a million dollars.
TrueNot unless you're going to bed early
after midnight ,good luck with that, depending on the time the op is planning on leaving the city centre, if he cannot get a taxi ,then the N9 night bus service will drop them off on PRW at the top of Copland rdSubway to cessnock 3/4 min walk to go urban
They were going for £40k at one point. Probably closer to £25k-30k in 2019.
Lower now.
I wouldn’t do that, if you don’t know how to get there….because he/she/gender neutral won’t.Private taxis phone number is 0141 774 3000 (glasgow go cabs) they also have their own app that you can pre order a taxi on.
Until the delivery guy turns up on a moped. Or a bicycle.Go on Just Eat and see if there are any city centre takeaways that will deliver out to Go Urban, will be £4-£5 delivery fee. Head to the takeaway, wait til driver is leaving with your order and there's your cheap taxi home and a post night out scran.
Full of bears on saturday for gameTake care in the Go Urban on Saturday, the SNP are having a Burns Supper there with Herr Sturgeon in attendance

As long as he is himself I’m sure the guy would give him a backyUntil the delivery guy turns up on a moped. Or a bicycle.
Regarding the Black Hackneys, that's just not true. That's why literally thousands of people use them at the weekend.Never use hackneys from outside the central station or uber, these are modern day Dick Turpins.
Sourse a local private hire near the hotel you are staying in and use them.
It’s the same buses.Do the busses still run all night down there. Dated a girl from clarkston 20 years ago and busses running all night just blew my mind. They always stopped about midnight up here
I speak from experience, i live outside Glasgow and previously the marshall at Gordon street spoke to drivers and quoted me £40, my local private hire whom i had assumed would be expensive as they had to travel to Glasgow quoted me £22.Regarding the Black Hackneys, that's just not true.

Uber, as well as other Private Hire companies, will have a surcharge this weekend for sure as it'll be extremely busy due to being pay weekend. That's if they bother to turn up when you book one, as so many of them are now pirating all over the city centre waiting for an approach to charge £40 to Bridgeton etc. Many of them are not one bit interested in taking jobs from their radio systems.
So you wait in the Black Hackney taxi queue at Gordon Street (Central Station), George Square, etc, get into your taxi when you're first in the queue, give the driver your location, and he puts the meter on if you're going to any location within the city boundary (£4.60 + 30p extras which is what the council gave taxis to offset the rising cost of fuel). That's cheaper than Private Hire, and it's not a penny more than it would on any other night. Where is the 'Dick Turpin' in that?
If you're going outside the boundary the driver will offer you a fixed price or say "no sorry, I don't want to go beyond the boundary". Drivers can do that without breaking the terms of their licence.
Fixed prices are cash up front. Who wants to go to Ayr/Edindurgh/Stirling only to find the customer has no cash.
wouldnt use uber after i was bumped, a few of us had issues that night with them. long story short cost more to get from town to eastend than it did using a hack from the airportLoads around central station. Failing that set up an Uber account.
i have actually done this before in Barrhead,Go on Just Eat and see if there are any city centre takeaways that will deliver out to Go Urban, will be £4-£5 delivery fee. Head to the takeaway, wait til driver is leaving with your order and there's your cheap taxi home and a post night out scran.
I understand you have no axe to grind, but you called Black Hackneys modern day Dick Turpins. I'm saying they're not, and I explained why they're not.I speak from experience, i live outside Glasgow and previously the marshall at Gordon street spoke to drivers and qouted me £40, my local private hire whom i had assumed would be expensive as they had to travel to Glasgow quoted me £22.
I have no axe to grind thats just fact.
You haven’t been paying attention mate.A major UK city is sure to have taxis available on a Saturday night after midnight.
