Dundee taxi trade is so fecked up and unfair it might not recover but i really do think that a cap is a place to start.
"Think"? How good is that? You don't know?
All you have to do is look at Edinburgh and see just how fecked your Dundee taxi trade is going to get. Enslaved drivers and punters walking away from the trade into the hands of private hire who are competing our asses off.
The look at Glasgow and see private hire two and a half times greater that the hackney fleet. And see the criminal elements "allgegedly" running this hinterland service.
That's where your restriction will take you. Your councillors and your cops are gonna have their work cut out to keep these elements out of the city because the temptation of private hire will be too great to stop it.
Just so that you can accrue a plate value at some point in the future.
Your not protecting your trade. Anyone with half a wit can see that.
What you're doing is racking up your own greedy vested interest at the expense of others.
Now answer the question. Tell us all why market forces should apply to every sector of the economic market but not to taxi trades?
Or are you not able to?
