l PEOPLE who need a wheelchair-accessible Hackney may be charged a £5 booking fee if the driver is more than 2.5 miles from the job.

Interesting. However it just goes to show how reluctant these councillors were to give these drivers a fare increase if they had to ask three times.

In what way was this comment revealing?

36.—(1) This section imposes duties on the driver of a regulated taxi which has been hired—

(a) by or for a disabled person who is in a wheelchair; or

(b) by a person who wishes such a disabled person to accompany him in the taxi.

(2) In this section—

"carry" means carry in the taxi concerned; and

"the passenger" means the disabled person concerned.

(3) The duties are—

(a) to carry the passenger while he remains in his wheelchair;

(b) not to make any additional charge for doing so;

I wonder if the booking fee will get challenged?

Have you noticed that the act states Carried in "his" wheelchair rather than the politically correct approach of carried in "their" wheelchair. lol
