Are PHV actually BANNED from having meters? Quote: Controversial cab-hailing app Uber does not break the law, the High Court has ruled.
The law bans private hire cars from being "equipped" with taximeters, and Transport for London (TfL) went to court to seek clarification on whether Uber breached this. But Mr Justice Ouseley said the app operates differently to a taximeter. He said: "A taximeter ... does not include a device that receives GPS signals in the course of a journey, and forwards GPS data to a server located outside of the vehicle, which server calculates a fare that is partially or wholly determined by reference to distance travelled and time taken and sends the fare information back to the device." |
