Taxi Driver Online

So there you have it, Licensed Minicab operators, such as high profile ones like ALI, are still using unlicensed cars (and i'll bet drivers) and still the PCO do nothing.

So next thing he knew all his customers were using real Taxi's, so ALI in his wisdom got his drivers to stand around the corner to drum up some trade, unfortunatley they touted an Inspector and PC from the Transport for London Policing unit!

Then to make matters worse. . . . well i'll let Bob Oddy take up the story :

Well this story cheered me up. as they

Mr Ali operates a licensed minicab office opposite Leicester Square in the heart of the city.

Now before licensing he operated what could only be described as a fleet of cars and drivers that looked like a scene from your local salvage yard.

His drivers would openly rank up on the Taxi rank opposite and tell tourists they were 'London Cabbies' (in their pidgeon English)

Now Ali's outfit is known in the trade as 'Taliban Taxis' His picture will explain why!

Last year we opened our marshalled rank right opposite Ali's doorway. He owns the office above, but conducts his buisiness from the doorway.

So is this style of operation repeated a thousand times across the capital? I'd love to see the odds on that one.
