Taxi Driver Online

yeah! i can certainly see the salesman in Dougie,could he be any more caught up in his own spin,i bet he knew nothing about the products he used to sell either but it didn't stop the program from running.

I detect your stunned by my response If you think we got it bad just wait and see how bad The PHC are going to get it The PHC have been openly working this way for years, ECPH must own hundreds of PHC plates ENSLAVEMENT at it's worst

The leasing of something to trade is not unique, i could buy a lease for a pub, shop or a TAXI if i then sell that lease on you muppet for profit then it's job done, this is the economic world we live in you empty piece of self filled sh-t, it's called capitalism

If you want a way that is fair and without discrimination to wipe out multi ownership of the right to use Taxi and PHC licences then Double the cost!!! per licence First plate £1,500 2nd plate £3,000 3rd plate plate £6,000, so if a company holding say 10 plates, the tenth plate would cost them nearly a million pounds. If that's a topper then per plate again Local authorities could charge incorporated multi plate holders double for their annual inspection, first plate £205 2nd plate£410 3rd plate £820, Nearly £200,000 grand. This i believe wipes out Multi plate holding of Taxi and Phc licences

Sweet Dreams SKULL

The Question is:

Should there be a difference in fees for single plate holders to that of Multi plate holders?

I've outlined in a previous post how this would be done.

DOUBLING THE FEES PER PLATE WIPES OUT MULTI PLATE HOLDING

I wonder who put James Douglas up to this one? another poor dig at the black cab trade, never heard of this journalist before must be a wannabe serious writer,in typical NOTW style

What JC has done is not a CRIME, He has not BENT ANY RULES (JD) What JC has done is amassed in my opinion to many Licences LEGALLY. This was alway's going to happen as has happened with ECPH Remember some of their owners where saying ECPH wanted control of their licences and how many private hire plates do ECPH (Directors) hold collectively? Charging their drivers 50/50 and openly promoting the idea of paying their drivers a wage, is this the same or worse the JC i fear much worse

Edinburgh is a different market to Glasgow and what goes on in Glasgow is a million miles from what goes on in Edinburgh. Its known that Glasgow is in the top 5% of most corrupt cities in the world, i wonder how many Glasgow licence holders where put under pressure to transfer their licences? Although i know JC and don't think for a minute John has done any wrong, John has made his money selling TAXI's in Glasgow and Edinburgh including my Metro, Knowing John he has probably helped out many licence holders who have had financial troubles as many cabbies
do, finance on a new Taxi is not cheap its a massive commitment.

The situation in Edinburgh i agree the usage of the plate is changing hands for around £40k but it's legal and i don't know of any one owning as many as in Glasgow. For JD to compare the black cab trade to the Private hire and say the PHC fares better is niave. Black cab drivers study the knowledge and go through all checks to gain the right to operate a black cab, professional drivers in all aspects of serving the public.

In a De-restricted/De-limited world the same problem would arise but a lot worse, the Trade would be fully open to all kinds of criminal gangs. Tighter restriction/regulation is what is required to sort out any kind of mass ownership of usage of Taxi licences.

The alternative is the council like NEW YORK ask for a change in law and Charge a New licence fee granted charge of £40k, if you can't beat them join them There is currently no laws being broken

NEW YORK NEW YORK

Think about it this way Dougie, a consensus in self interest, would unite the trade.

Take lawyers, for instance. They might all hate and compete with each other, but they are all educated enough to agree as to what servers their interests.

They control their own destiny because they take control for themselves, to serve their own interests, as a group and as individuals.

The council control the trade, they operate the projector that creates your little illusion. We don't take control for ourselves. We give it away, apologize, make excuses, and then we ask permission to breathe, tug forelock, and pay for the privilege.


Your empire is a job Dougie, and truth be told, not a very good one. Everything else is a figment of your imagination, and that's what you are so desperate to hang on to.

nae luck Dougie the plug is about to be pulled on your little illusion.

Bad choice skull I hope the taxi trade never gets as corrupt as lawyers, that goes right to the top of the crown office.

show me the facts on this statement please!
