How strange.

I had thought of this scheme myself about a couple of years ago, but thought it would be illegal.

So where is the relevant legislation for this, that allows taxibuses to run a service without a timetable.

If it's available and legal, I would be more than well interested in this.

Are you questioning my question or agreeing that the question needs to be answered?

Found it!

Can someone remind me what the cab trade in Gateshead called this scheme?

Wasn't it "town for a pound" or something like that?

It might make a few extra quid...but how many that would have previously booked a Taxi for the journey now just wait at a bus stop and get the same service for just a quid?

I doubt if Hire and Reward Public Hire insurance on a taxicab would cover it for using the taxi as a bus service.
