Hailo Made a Hefty Profit This Morning as People React to #Railstrike

While the train strikes loomed causing chaos for morning commuters, looks like instant Taxi service Hailo benefited from the disruption. The company shared a Vine illustrating how many users were looking for cabs at peak hour this morning.

It's getting busy out there! #Railstrike https://t.co/RhznnhR59b

Grim enough. Fair play to the chaps in Hailo who, instead of making a killer profit off our inconvenienced state, offered users a 20% discount this morning.

Get 20% off on off-peak journeys tomorrow. We'll post discount code on twitter from 5am #RailStrike ?. pic.twitter.com/tbEl5qT41G — Hailo Ireland (@HailoIreland) October 22, 2015

Meanwhile the disgruntled public took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the aforementioned #railstrike.

A 3 hr stoppage has unleashed a disingenuous bashing of organised work. Solidarity with all workers campaigning for decent jobs #railstrike

Exercising our rights to collectively bargain is important, we should respect the rights others have to do so #railstrike
