In Ireland, taxis are considered Small Public Service Vehicles (SPSV) and to operate an SPSV, you need a specific license which is handled/regulated by the National Transport Authority (NTA), so they fall under public transport here. Even services like Uber, Bolt & FREE NOW are SPSVs regulated by the NTA.
In Ireland, taxis have to apply for SPSV licences which are Small Public Service Vehicles licences so by definition in Ireland they are public transport. Based on the fact that anyone of the public can hail one.
I thought it was funny too... for like 3 minutes. I think he overdid it lmao, like it's great content but he's just beating a dead horse at some point. Most other people if they were to do the same thing would do it for a bit then let the game progress as normal. It just felt like Simon was being spiteful lmao
"The term 'public transport' has historically been associated with trains, buses, and ferries that take people from one place to another on fixed routes, at regular times. It has usually not been associated with other forms of shared travel such as taxis, shuttles, ride-sharing, or bike-sharing."
about the debate with public transport...taxi can't be with trains and buses as with those you can't choose the path only the destination (where you get off) nor the time it comes ..taxi and even scooters although they are a public service to help getting around (ironically when public transport fails you)..they are more a luxury option you are paying for and have the freedom of going where you want when you want in any direction you want.... if you think of them as modes of transport, taxi is a car, lime bikes and scooters exist as well and are valid ways of getting around but they aren't shared by everyone at the same time in the same paths together . public transport a means of getting around available to the masses
Keep up the great content guys, I'm in the US so unfortunately I had to watch the doc through other means but I really enjoyed it even though I've been watching you guys for years now so it was definitely a great choice to do it.
Vikstar is the most humble person ever. He's so calm and never hurts anybody at the cost of getting more views. So his deffo the best sidemen in my opinion.
It’s shit your not missing out, genuinely let down I personally think any sidemen made documentary has been 10x than this Netflix one. Just a quick 10 mins about each of them then done😂
1:18:00 This is basically the business version of: “I didn’t lose” “you didn’t win, that never happened” “what proof, I already turned off the console”
@@MrMeMyselfandIMr Beast said he should be considered as expensive as a Super Bowl Ad, which for the most part is right. It’s just not entirely one to one because a RUclips view isn’t the same exposure and stat as knowing a human is watching the SuperBowl
Randy was talking very very quickly in the begining...slow down a bit pleaseee..his story is very hard to follow because he just merges words together..breathe looll
New Orleans is actually a beautiful city and has an amazing culture, it has a lot of fun partying too. I will say that it is more of a 3-4 day trip than other places but well worth a visit.
When you said the “it’s just the same vlog with different angles” part all you guys audience would enjoy that and wouldn’t mind it at all if anything it’s more fun to se all of your different perspectives you should give it a try, I remember it would happen all the time with your old videos and we would get to see some same clips in different perspectives in you guys groups, like in some of freezys and tobets old videos
Loving the vlogs Randy, don’t focus on views u said in early vlogs ur not going to worry about that just keep going the views will come keep going x love the pod guys x
You’re neglecting to mention that you’re a business - your expenses come with tax discounts, write offs and so on. (I’m a business owner… I’m fully aware)
What Nick said about the taxis should end the debate. Public transport literally means public - which is stuff owned by the government/city. So taxis, ubers or whatever that you hire from a private company/person by definition isnt public.
A taxi company is a public service, if its designated as a "Public service" it would be considered Public transport. Even Guinness book would recognise that it would depend on the challenge. For your next challenge limit the use of an official taxi to half the time of others.
Oxford languages definition of public transport is this: "public transport noun buses, trains, and other forms of transport that are available to the public, charge set fares, and run on fixed routes." So a cab would be failing the 'set fares' and the 'fixed route' criteria going by that.
To me public transport = mass transit. Buses, large aircraft, trains, ferry’s. If you can’t carry at least 20 people, it’s not public transport. Cruise ships also don’t count because they are solely for recreational use.
i don’t really understand why youtubers/ influencers are so secretive about their revenue… you can literally go online and google what teachers/doctors/lawyers etc earn so its not like everyone else’s yearly salaries are secrets. good on freezy
Yeah taxis / Uber / Lyft / Lime bikes are not public transport, they are private transport - from a global travel consultant. Public transport is transportation where more than one person / one group of people can travel at the same time on a fixed route & a fixed timetable.
technically jj and tobi won because their task was to get a living creature to dublin and they got off the bus with the two girls who are living creatures they would have won if they didn’t go for the bug
Was the make a wish for the girl in Australia Blue that Toby met? Many blessings to you sidemen for making children's dreams come true by just be present for them absolutely amazing and I saw the monetary donations you guys made to Blue and her mum. You are beautiful humans
Its actually nice seeing how much freezy made breakdown. Cause so many people just asume u make like a million a video etc. its really interesting too see
Public transports are government or local/city owned and run. If its a private business then its not public. Another way to look at it, if its not costing taxpayer money then its not public transport. Edit: Turns out this is absolutely incorrect. Its transportation that is widely available for public use and can transport groups of people. Airline might be considered public transport in some instances, but a private jet is not. As far as taxis and ubers, it seems to depend. In general, no as a cab driver can look a customer up and down then deny them on a whim like a private business, but they've been implemented in some circumstances as public transportation. At least this is my understanding after some quick checking. My first thoughts on it though were completely incorrect from what I can tell.
its quite an interesting 'discussion' really. like where is the line between public vs private? from what ive seen, in the uk, train tickets across the country (from one city to another) are extremely expensive, they are owned by private companies, and only a limited % of the population could afford certain routes. So its interesting, because its obviously still public transport, but the 'public' that is using it is very limited. It would make more sense to me if it was as you said, and if it was government funded or at least regulated at affordable prices for the majority of the public, then its 'public transport'.
I think Randy was inspired by Sam Sulek, I remember Randy mentioning him awhile ago when he was talking about the youtube meta changing. I think the Sidemen who are vlogging are probably more inspired by Randy than Sam though
1:15:00 😤😤😤 new fan. Just got into you guys like 5 or so months ago. And now I'm offended. Don't come Simon. I don't want you to see me rocking Sidemen merch anyway. I'm mad I got mad. Josh would know where it is.... maybe... Randy 💜 thank you. 🥰
Randolph, I like you, but please stop blaming the fans for hating when you talk bad about Vikk, you CONSTANTLY attack him which is the problem, and he NEVER says anything back towards you, stop playing the victim and blaming fans.
1:16:48 the truest conspiracy I’ve ever heard 😂 I’ve still got the monocle monopoly man on the box and posted it too 😅 It’s all just a big test to see how stupid we are to believe them and their lies
A cab IS public transport ffs it’s literally used by all the public and is not a set route thing like a bus or train , it’s not a private hire as well tf cuz everyone can use one ????
@@yudueu5686 literally horrible comparison wtf lmao no one signals down a damn private jet , those are private hire which make it not a public transport unlike taxis that are not private hire they aren’t someone who drives a specific person like jets they take anyone jets do not
@ronv6326 jets literally take anyone if you have the money what you mean? If you don't have the money u can't use a taxi. A homeless guy cannot use a taxi cause they don't have the money. Rich people can use private jets. Not rich people can't. Jet is the same as a taxi just a big price difference. Is a plane not public transport to you aswell?
I hope yall get vikk for next podcast because 2 x 123 is 246
Haha😂

Yeah but in Simon and Randys eyes. Vikk fans are crazy
I’m in a tough spot in my career. Randolph, you inspire me with how you got on with your vlogs.
As an American, I'm annoyed The Sidemen Story isn't on Netflix in the U.S. VPN to the rescue to still be able to watch it, though.
They haven't decide in which territories. Only the UK
It’s shit your not missing out, genuinely let down I personally think any sidemen made documentary has been 10x than this Netflix one. Just a quick 10 mins about each of them then done😂
I like the idea of RUclipsrs talking about their video earnings because it’s interesting

Currently so ill in bed, thank god I have this to listen to 😭
Get well soon bro

Simon should definitely make an abandoned video, or just another race video.
I did actually genuinely love the race across Europe video.

Public transport is transport with a pre-destinated route, private is where you pick your own route

great episode
Randy always throws shade at vik for no reason
For real... it's big heart of vik that he doesn't care abt it
These guys just don't get it
They're friends, I'm sure it's not that deep.

Nothing will ever beat Randys Donkey impression 😂
Hard agree one of the best sidemen videos in a while but it was an underwhelming ending.
If your phone charge port gets wet, lay it in front of a fan for 30 mins. Has always worked for me unless the port also has dirt
Loving the vlogs Randy, don’t focus on views u said in early vlogs ur not going to worry about that just keep going the views will come keep going x love the pod guys x
58:44 idk why they have this idea that we dont know the sidemen.

Been wondering this for a while, what’s the video/game being played on the PC behind Randy?
Actually starting to really like this set 😅
A taxi company is a public service, if its designated as a "Public service" it would be considered Public transport. Even Guinness book would recognise that it would depend on the challenge.
For your next challenge limit the use of an official taxi to half the time of others.
Anyone know the brand of Simon’s hoodie ?

Taxis have set fare rates based on distance or time occupied

Will did the 'this is how much it cost / this is how much I earnt' video the past two years
Damn Randy lookin good recently
can still charge with magsafe if it stops charging from water tho
Also phones are only waterproof in fresh water. Not salt water they use a rubber seal to make it water tight and the salt removes that rubber

Controversy should be that Vik and Harry are still yet to finish, as they didn't get a stranger to dance with them
They did near the finish with kid with glasses
And also they didn't have to finish all of the tasks to win
technically jj and tobi won because their task was to get a living creature to dublin and they got off the bus with the two girls who are living creatures they would have won if they didn’t go for the bug

Damnn Pokémon in the background again lool
Wills been doing the revenue videos for years, check them out 👌
You should do a podcast with viktor and T.P
why is pokemon yellow being played behind Randy ??
the definition of public transport is that it runs on fixed routes - taxis and lime bikes aren't public transport

I think cabs are public transport because anyone can get a cab in the public.
yes randy go to hoxton cabin for a comedy night
Why didn't Simon just use a wireless charger?????
Not public, not ran by the government/town that taxes pay for.
Anybody should be able to get on, like a train, bus, etc, a taxi is a private hire
I love randy, but fuck he talks so fast 😂😂😂
Can I just say Randy is a certified beg. “24 hrs with vickstar” yh mate great title u beg
