The pilot scheme will allow new and existing taxi operators to use wheelchair-accessible vehicles for up to seven years from the date of first registration. This is longer than the current period allowed for all taxis of up to five years. Some taxi firms have said that the higher cost of accessible vehicles means that they need to be used for longer in order to be economic.

Absolutely clueless. #-o

Has anyone actually told those elected folks how much these vehicles cost, and how on earth the trade is meant to a) finance the bloody things, and b) get finance for these bloody things.

If drivers in Edinburgh and Glasgow are struggling to make these vehicles pay, then what chance have they in the sticks?
