Taxi Driver Online

So everyone has a spare £80,000 to gamble on a plate.

where does the figure eighty thousand come from?

Call it what ever figure you like into the tens of thousands bracket, then tell us how this equates into the sale price of a public licence.

How many qualified taxi drivers denied a licence, and how many members of the public denied a service at a competitive cost?

However you want to carve this little fantasy up at the end of the day it’s the qualified taxi driver and the general public who pay.

You might be a protected species at this moment but you will be joining the ranks of the Dodo in a short while.


Can’t wait

Maybe you will think these comparisons are correct?

You probably know that Oxford has a population of around 134,248 so lets compare Oxford to the other authorities on your doorstep.

Vale of white horse. 115627
Cherwell. 131785
South Oxon. 128188
North Oxon. 95650

No doubt they sound familiar but the difference between these district councils in Oxfordshire and yours is the simple fact that their Taxi proprietors are not a protected species. I guess this throws the ball back into your court because you still haven't given an adequate response as to why you think you should be protected and the rest of the licensing authorities in Oxfordshire should not?

You claim you are not a protected species, how you reached that conclusion is beyond me. I would say the four councils I mentioned fit into the category of unprotected species while your council by virtue of having a restricted policy puts you in the category of a protected species. Is that not correct?

i think he meant endangered species.

as usual you are spot on with the statistics, however the councils you mention are not centralised i.e. south oxfordshire is spread out, as is west oxfordshire, basically you can drive 15 to 20 miles and still be in west oxfordshire, its rural, as is the south, as is cherwell. oxford is central you can drive across it in 15 minutes.

and anyway with these other councils its anything goes, so you could put a saloon on with them, then basically the disabled people are discriminated against.

we are not protected or endangered, if tomorrow the council decided it was in the public interest to go free for all then so be it.

And there is no work in the city of Oxford thats why so many vale of white horse cars go stalking in oxford along with all those oxford ph

how many licences did they issue in High Wycombe after dereg, three wasn't it? when the council realised that they might have to give out licenses like confetti, and then the cousins cousin wanted one, the put a stop to it, came out with the xcuse about rank space......

as for the stalkers well to be honest its upto the customers if they want to get in a unlicensed car, but eventually they all get caught, and if the customers want to pay rip off ph prices then they are bigger idiots arent they?

80 grand.
it must be as busy as f*** or there are some mugs up there.

they are mugs c gull, if i told you what the world record was you would be shocked as i was!!

and its not that busy.....

Alan Woodward Secretary of the Oxford Taxi association said there is a fair amount of street hailing, that wouldn't surprise me in the least but who do you believe Mr 187 UMS or Mr Allan Woodward?

Mr 187ums Wycombe have not issued any plates since deregulation, we still have the same problem with touting ph its so simple to stop touting just issue hac plates

Rank space is the reason for not issuing any plates. This was brought up several weeks ago in another thread and the reason then is the same as it is now? The district council is waiting on the County Council to supply the rank space, as they are the ones who deal with highways. You will be pleased to know that several locations have been earmarked for additional Taxi ranks.

JD

then Alan should know that thier is plenty of hail work on the weekend i.e. Friday/Saturday, rest of the tiime its the stations for us, and I suppose he told you about the L reg Metro that was sold as well?
