| Post subject: | Hackney? |
Over the time I have had many people claim that a Hackney cannot take bookings, my own take being is that they/I can. My reasoning being is that many a flag down has asked me to pick them up later on, and I am not allowed to refuse a fare! Having said that; Myself being an independent Hack i.e no office etc do not as such hold an operators license as required for say running an office/base. I hold a dual badge - how do I stand? |

A hackney can take any booking either immediate or advance. |

What set me thinking was this recent problem that we have in Cardiff, a P.H driver wrote in to our local rag stating he had been a P.H driver for 13 years, his take was that we could not take bookings, unfortunately misinformation such as that, does not help. |

When a hackney takes a flag down or other non pre-booked journey it's acting as a hackney carriage, When it takes an advance booking it's acting as a private hire for the duration of that fare..... I think   Hence why Derby may be saying that hacks can't use bus lanes whilst on pre-booked jobs because at that moment they are acting as PH. |

A Hackney is always a Hackney. just because a Hackney take an advance job it does not make it a Private Hire. |
