So you agree that your earlier statement that you can only license a hackney in London for 5 was incorrect.

Why does charging extra for 5 or more passengers not relate to Hackneys?

Ok think were going off topic here,i was commenting on the london bit with someone saying its double for 6 passengers,which it isnt.Its extra 20 pence per person here but its not double fare is it .Personally i think it should be more for the more passengers you have.

Mine is licensed for 8

we are allowed an extra 70 p per passenger over 4 BUT as the majority of bookings start or finish outside the district we tend to charge 1.5 times as they do elsewhere but not off the rank

No its £3 extra on top of the £5 which is £8 for a 1 mile journey thats more than a London cab !


£8 divided by 5 = £1.60 each, how much is the bus (after a wait in the rain)
