Taxi Driver Online

i wonder what the europeans make of all this, ive been to spain where you can phone for a taxi flag one down or go to the rank and get one, and it could be the same car and driver in all three cases, and the same thing probably happens in every other european country when you look at the industry in this country it all looks a bit backward hackneys running to conditions set out in 1874 and private hire in 1976 its about time it had a kick into the 21st century and every one run to a set of conditions set out in 2005.
I also have the problem being a private hire driver of the public pestering me to take them home for double the fare.
york council are trying to educate the public by outlining the difference between private hire and public hire, but i dont think they care, all they want to do is get home after a night out wether its in a hackney or private hire vehicle
