Taxi meters are not a requirement under statutory legislation in England and Wales, that decision is up to each individual council. There are as Sussex says still local authorities in England and Wales that do not require their hackney carriages to have meters.



Yet another reason for new legislation!

Does that mean that as Taxis are so called because they use a Taxi-meter,
then Mr Sussex is infact a cab driver and not a Taxi driver #-o

Or to put it another way; in areas where PH use taxi-meters, then following the argument that a taxi is so called because it has a taxi-meter, is it little wonder that some PH drivers call themselves taxi drivers & so do the press.

Isn't that the same thing.

I can't imagine an area where one half have meters and the other half not.

not necessarily, PHV meters are not set to a tariff laid down by the LA, but to a tariff set by the operator.
I think the term Taxi can only apply to a cab fitted with a Taximeter that is regulated by the LA. but not 100% sure!

No it's not the same thing.

There are a number of LAs, about 18 at the last count, that don't set Tables of Fares & leave it to the cab trade.

But that does not mean that they don't use taximeters.
