Taxi Driver Online

PH can have the doblo that looks like an ice cream van......but nothing that looks like a taxi

CC

The E7 is available to PH and so is the Vito and a few others. To say they aren't would considerably cut the market value to the manufacturers.

Not my problem.....but if they want to be called taxis then they can only sell to one.

You're right it's not your problem. They will however use their political clout to get what they want and I believe that is a fair piece of the market as they see it. It's only taxi drivers that believe the world evolves around them

Yes...but wasnt there a wee bit of a question raised by a so called expert in one of those posted links that mentions if all hacks had to become WAV then there would be a mass stampede by you hacks to become PH to avoid having to purchase such a vehicle....and that was mentioned by someone that Didnt know the differance between what constitutes a Taxi or a PH...

well....do you Taxi chappies think that'll be the case, will you all become that much loathed PH rather than buy a WAV.

Im PH and quite happy to potter away withouth any inclination to illegally ply for hire, i get enough work as is.

Dear god..if the so called experts cant tell the differance then how in hells name do they think they dictate policy on WAVs.

Theyre a bunch of Idiots...

So true toots.....Its wrong that one group of opposing passenger transportation styles should try and get the other to be made to obey the same rules as they are subject to. I for one if needs be will go get a WAV or two and sell off my saloons and simply become a Hack....tis that easy to do here. now the real losers then will be those that already are Taxi drivers as there will be twice or thrice the competition in the ranks and on the street as there is at present.

Any wise hack should be praying to hell that PH dont need to be WAV..indeed campaining for them not to be, just to protect their own livelyhoods.

as they say...one should be careful for what you wish for....you might get it!

Thats an open market and competition for you.....unless you're saying those hacks in your area dont do PH work......which I find difficult to believe

CC

We have 3 ways of working here, the punter comes to the rank, phones for 1, or hails it from the street, as a 1 man band the punters phone me direct, just like 80% of other hack owners here

I think the Judge is perhaps retarded......a driver not being ar*ed to secure a wheelchair properly, does not mean the wheelchair wont fit.

CC

Wasn't there a survey which concluded only 4 wheelchair jobs out of 100 could fit the TX range?

CC you must have read the European disability thing, where the boss of LTI quite clearly stated that there cabs cannot take a full sized wheelchair

Was that the same one where the manufacturers of wheelchairs couldnt guarantee the stability of the wheelchair in the taxi in the event of an accident?

CC

Was that the same one where the EC stated a mixed fleet was better than WAV only policies?

CC

Which makes it all the more strange the gov didn't use that as the perfect cop out.
