Listen, I rank with guys everyday who single shift their own vehicles, and an increase in plates wouldn't make a jot of difference to these guys.

It's only those with ideas of grandeur that suffer because of their unrealistic expectations - a 50K plate and a 35K taxi has to be paid for and without a driver they're fecked.

That's what we are really talking about here.
How many guys would buy a taxi without being able to secure the services of a driver? :-|

Very few perhaps? :shock:

The reality is that PH, increase if we don't and money laundering follows as a result.

I agree, one way to remove the gangsters is to make everyone there own boss, for phone bookings maybe a driver association could be formed

I wonder what happens if a taxi plate holder 'owns' more than three plates but rents them out ? There is no booking office as such


Never made my question very clear

I was wondering if the booking office regulations apply to plate 'owners' who rent of 'their' plates ? There are a few here who 'own' more than three

I doubt it.
