Cab company says 'Phone a Dub - Get a Dub' message is good for business

When contacted, the person who answered the call said that it was ‘trying to insinuate that the company is local and that we have local drivers.’

A DUBLIN CAB company whose slogan reads ‘Phone a Dub – Get a Dub’ has said that its message is good for business.

When contacted by TheJournal.ie and asked about the message, a person within the company initially said that it was a question for the manager, who was currently away on holidays.

When pressed further as to what the message meant, they said:

I suppose you could say that we’re trying to insinuate that the company is local and that we have local drivers.

On the topic of whether they felt that this was something that the company should be using as a selling point, the person said that the manager obviously did, before saying that they’d rather keep any further views on the matter to themselves.

A call to the Irish Taxi Drivers Federation (ITDF) to seek a response to this issue went unanswered.
