Our original idea was to provide an online forum to replace the now defunct taxiforum.com, but we later decided to add a few news stories, not only to stimulate debate for the forum, but also to provide a free news service for taxi drivers the length and breadth of the country.  Our frontpage now features some of our past comment/opinion columns on some of the major and ongoing issues facing the trade, while new news and opinion is posted directly onto the relevant parts of the forum.

Taxi and private hire
Our aim is to appeal to both sides of the cab trade - taxi (hackney carriage) and private hire.  Obviously the two sides of the trade are very far apart in some locations, while closely integrated in others, but we believe that the two sides are only divided by licensing policies, and that each provide a broadly similar service.  However, we appreciate that there is a large amount of animosity between the two trade, but we hope that in attempting to appeal to both sides we don't alienate either, and that we can still conduct a civilised and constructive debate.

The team
We consist entirely of working drivers, both taxi and private hire, and situated from the north of Scotland to the south of England.

Contributions
We welcome news and opinion, and aim to represent all sides of the various arguments. Members can post their news and views directly onto our forum, and registration is easy.
