I've been racking my brains recently to cobble together a list of the top 10 questions my amazing passengers ask me day in day out, so here they are!

Hi Mark, I love your videos, you have such an engaging manner. If I think of any questions I will ask them later!

I am friends with a chauffeur, and he once told me his longest journey was no joke, from Calais, France, through the channel tunnel and down to The Savoy Hotel in London, along with a Siberian Husky in tow. The job, being a chauffeur service, and my friend driving an electric car (Tesla Model Y) cost £745. Had my friend been driving a Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7-Series or other vehicle classified as “First Class”, he would’ve earned 900. Had he been driving an V-Class or similar, he would’ve earned 1500. That is how far some people are willing to go to earn a living.

Love the Husky in for ride! Those are big jobs!

Roger Moore was my hero as The Saint, Bond and loved him in The Persuaders. My boyhood hero and you met him. I never did, sadly. What a guy!

Hey Mark. My name is Mark as well and I’m a limo driver in Nashville Tennessee USA. We get the same questions from pax except about if the vehicle is electric. Great video.

Hi Mark thanks for watching! Always wanted to head to Nashville! Heard good things about it. Hope you’re busy 🙌

@licensedtaximan4271 10 ай бұрын

The only thing you didn't include Mark is that the petrol and electric charges are on top of the rental as with any other rental cab, regardless whether it's the latest hybrid taxi which you are driving or one of the older diesel models, from a fleet operator. So you're looking, driving the model you're renting the TXE, at around or possibly north of four hundred pounds a week before you make a penny for yourself.

@Marktaxi 10 ай бұрын

Correct! I don’t think any vehicle rental ever includes fuel. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@jasonlansdown2758 10 ай бұрын

I think people don't realise how moronic or inane some of those questions are to cabbies.

If you do an episode of best fish and chips that would be awesome. My favorite one is the Mayfair Chippy. Good video as always.

As someone who works in a taxi dispatch and booking centre, it's the same question I'd ask Tom: Disregarding apps, why is there no comms or dispatch system?

@baronedipiemonte3990 ... As a n Englishman, I can say that if you want the best fish and chips, you definitely need to go to the north of Britain, not London.

Hi Mark, hope you're well. I'd like to know who was the worst behaved celeb and the worst tipping celeb you ever had in your cab? I realise you can't answer here! Oh, and was your cab parked on Hillcrest Road on Monday night??? (Not stalking you, honest guv!) lol

Most people come up with a number around that, today I did just 72 as it was half term and I finished with an airport run.

Love the videos but you really need to get a better microphone and/or monitor your audio. In most videos, yound sound like you're underwater/muffled, following by crackling or volume peaks. It's hell on the ears, especially with headphones on.
