Fare Ladies was a cab firm that only employed female drivers, which Lloyd Mullaney became the owner of in 2012.
When Lloyd was unsuccessful at convincing his friend and former business partner Steve McDonald to allow him to buy back into Street Cars as a partner, a vengeful Lloyd bought Fare Ladies and became a competitor to Steve. Lloyd took his revenge one step further by stealing some contracts from Street Cars - including the lucrative One O'Clock Club deal, along with Gaynor, one of their drivers. Lloyd then hired Steve's estranged wife Tracy Barlow to operate the switchboard - who claimed that she also wanted to get back at Steve. This was quite the opposite however, as she used the opportunity to sabotage the business by handing out duff addresses to the Fare Ladies' drivers and secretly phoning Steve with work for Street Cars. Believing that Steve was behind it, a hot-tempered Lloyd turned up at Bessie Street School's sports day threatening to kill Steve and to the horror of headmaster Brian Packham and the other spectating parents, chased Steve round the school field and the pair ended up wrestling on the ground. After some level of admission by Steve, he and Lloyd eventually put their differences aside and merged their firms, making them business partners once again.
