Taxi Driver Online

Only a plonker would make a comparison between London and any other city or town in this land..... mind you two-and-half years to pass the test would probably suit you

Could this be another way??
a person applies for a hack licence, that person is issued with a plate, and that person is the only person permitted to drive that vehicle, other than the tester or mechanics
The same with the PH
This would limit the numbers who wish to join the trade, and possibly reduce the numbers in unrestricted areas as some of them would need to take some time off.
Any new person wishing to put a cab or PH on must go through training first before they get there licences, and supply a new vehicle, that once licenced can stay on to a certain age, and can freely put another new one on when there old one is removed.
If they decide to leave the trade they must return the plate to the council for re issue

That is similar to what I said but with different words. The only thing I think that would need to be considered is the fact that a taxi can work 24/7 but a driver can't. They are also expensive to buy I think it would be only fair to allow the owner driver to rent the taxi out on day or night shift depending on which shift he worked

The above won't happen. (TF)


But if it did, when an owner driver decided to leave the trade, and handed in his plate, what is he to do with his vehicle?

And what of the husband /wife team?

And what of the driver who has no desire to take on a finance agreement, or is unable to take on a finance agreement?

Like you care about anything other than your bottom line.
Just keep counting your rentals and spare us the BS.

Why would you want anything that deprives you of a steady stream of drivers with no choice but to pay you. Ching Ching.

Probably because I would hate to think I would ever be as miserable as you...

Your customers are the guys who pay your rentals, not the travelling public.
They are your drivers' customers.
They are the people your customers spend long hours driving around, so that you don't have to.

So if my drivers have no customers that would not affect me.... extremely good logic... for a fool.

At least you admit they are not your customers.
A fool is someone who pays you every week and believes it's for the best.
Your only concern is if they can pay you. You don't give a chit how much they have left over.
Your biggest concern is keeping your drivers paying you. Your concern for their welfare is complete BS.



I'm far from miserable Trev. I still make a decent amount and I get to keep most of it.
So, no doubt, do you. I wonder if your customers are as happy

550 million years or at least that's how long it feels this shackle has been around my neck, why, what have I said or done now for you to ask me such things

You haven't done anything wrong ... I was just wondering if you were in the private hire trade at the time the T and G private hire section where pushing for the removal of numbers. Tony Newbury..... because the private hire got what they ask for.....in your area

8 years and I think it was more ignorance and apathy that got the PH in this mess rather than actually asking for it
