Lisburn Exiles Forum

(Site is no longer operational pending a major long overdue overhaul of the entire website. Thank you for your patience. Site should still be visible and searchable for old posts.)

The Lisburn Exiles Forum is dedicated to the memory of James Goddard Collins (The Boss) who single-handedly built LISBURN.COM (with a lot of help from many contributors) from 1996 to 29th November 2012. This website was his passion and helping people with a common interest in the City of Lisburn around the world is his lasting legacy.

Re: Taxi Service

Mauri here in Belfast we have the people's taxis ,they originated during the troubles when the buses were being burnt people bought up old London Taxies firstly on the Falls and the Shankill and the Crumlin Rd and created an association which provides taxies running from different points in the City centre to all the main outlying estates you share the taxies with other people and when he is near your destination you rap the glass partition to inform him to stop and I think it's a standard fare equivalent to that of the bus or maybe cheaper,regarding private hacks you are spoiled for choice it's just a matter lifting the phone ,Allen regarding self drive in Lisburn I am not sure at the moment, if you would like me to confirm I would ask around for you if required, Regards Ted
