The Issue

My name is John Hirst a frustrated resident of Greater Manchester who, like many others, frequently finds myself at the mercy of the capricious whims of Xoom taxi firm drivers. Despite the outer reaches of Greater Manchester, Tameside, and Bury being clearly stated as covered areas in the Xoom taxi app, these locales are often treated as exclusion zones by drivers who decline jobs outside the city center, leaving residents stranded and under-serviced.

Xoom Taxi Firm's lax approach to enforcing their own policies damages its reputation and causes inconvenience for its customers. In particular, their apparent tolerance of drivers refusing jobs is deeply unfair. It becomes not only a personal inconvenience but a wider issue that creates a transportation deficit in our community.

Everyone has a right to reliable and accessible transportation. With more than 2.8 million people residing in Greater Manchester and surrounding areas, the demand for transportation is clearly substantial. Xoom Taxi Firm, as one of the prominent taxi services in the region, holds a responsibility to meet this demand.

I invite my fellow residents, who have also borne the brunt of these neglectful practices, to join me in calling on Xoom taxi firm bosses to strictly enforce their pickup & drop-off policies across all covered regions and take decisive action against drivers who decline jobs without valid reasons. Please, make this a priority, as the possibility of catching a reliable ride should never be in doubt, regardless of our location. Sign this petition and help ensure that the Xoom taxi firm serves all areas of Greater Manchester, without exception.
