Taxi Driver Online

Why would places that deristrict then want to restrict again,horror of horrors maybe it works ! Blackpool is a very seasonal town so its hard enough.In the words of the council they simply dont want more taxis in the town.Sussex i dont really knownyour agenda, you say you do ok as you are but ultimately you want something more. I doubt its for the good of the trade .

Exactly who is the trade?

Is it the 75% of the taxi trade that doesn't restrict?

Is it the 100% of the PH trade that doesn't restrict?

Is it taxi journeymen, in the 25% that does restrict, who are treated as serfs?

You look after your small loud mouth vested interests, and I will look after the rest.

I wouldn't say the 75% was a truly representational figure tbh - on the whole those areas that have numbers controls are Cities and urban areas of a substantial size.

I wouldn't say the drivers in the 75% are better off than those in the controlled areas.

Experience suggests areas that deregulate end up with a trade where other occupations are sought - there are no figures available as to how many drivers need tax credits due to low incomes - however in my area I know of numerous owner drivers seeking such relief.

There also appears to be a greater reliance upon private hire radio circuits in deregulated areas - and whilst drivers can attempt to start their own there are very few examples of this being successful given the virtual monopoly situation in many areas with PH companies.

Small loud mouth, from the man who got a free plate and sold it ,me im in it for a job. You i dont know

yup and we all know who to point the finger at if and when it goes all tits up...

honestly Sussex, you were given a free plate, you sold it, and now you want everyone who has a plate to suffer, because you want another free plate? oh I forgot you intend to buy one up here and get a driver, when he's making peanuts what are you going to do?

Easier to say it how it is a w a nk er !

I wouldn't call him that mate, plus there's no point going on about it till the LC comes out with there blue print.

What % of the national taxi trade work in London?

IMO 75% is on the lower side.

Once again who are these drivers? Are they owners or jockeys?

Why shouldn't jockeys be able to have their own vehicles? Is that asking too much?

I know of many journeymen down here that need tax credits, but not many owners.
