Taxi Driver Online

What if they all get licensed in another area as Hackneys? and then just come to York and accept pre booked work?

Perfectly legal if the council issuing the license doesnt ask where the vehicle will be worked.

I have heard that Amber Cars will supply 50 brand new vehicles for the York Stn contract, otherwise, 659 taxis [private hire] of York are trying to secure a deal for an operating base in one of the letting property at York Stn, rents rather high, if 659 are still proceding i do not have a clue

that wont be a problem will it, drivers will just move

but why, why do you pay, when it got to 365 pounds a year i gave up, York Stn taxi do not own the tender, when a few years ago a strike was callled, we all pilled out of the Stn, the Railway management started pleading with the drivers to come back in, they only did so after the chairman of Stn Taxis at the time was Mr Young, he has over the years been banned from the Stn taxi rank

you have only your selves to blame, us and them thats how its worked for years, those that have permits and those that dont, the only way forward now but a bit late is to stick together

i really think that these people know what they are doing, pity the Council got rid of the Council rank outside the Stn or even failed in planning the one in Tea Room Sq when they altered the road network outside the Stn

Like i said Pete move with the times.Its just how it works now and yes station taxis do own the tender.
As for them and us thats what you your selfs have made it like i said earlier im an independent and i get on with all drivers but unfortunately people like you (prehistoric) wont move with the times.Why should i pay to pick up from the station GROW UP FELLA £2.60 a day there giving it away.
Ive been made redundant 3 times( railway armstrongs and terrys) all closed down because of people with the same attitude as you thinking these firms owe you when they were paying us good money.
As far as i can make out station taxis dont make money out of the station rank ie charging independent single drivers a charge of £18.26 a week.
How much do you think amber will charge or 659 or joe bloggs???
If you want a permit apply for1 the only way you will get refused is if you wont wear the uniform and badge.
I would love to no what other drivers pay at other stations i would but money not many are cheaper than York with the turnover of passengers.So come on lads n lasses let us no

So your not independent really are you, if your forced to wear there noddy suits

Like i said mate get with the times is it a hardship to wear a white shirt and black top id say no.And id also but my house your over 50 with your outlook on the taxi trade and all the negative posts you reply to.

It's part of the contract skippy.

I'm sure if station taxis protest about drivers having to wear uniforms a private hire company will not have the same issue......is that what you want?

No I would like you and the rest of the union reps to get rid of permit charges nationwide.
This should have been sorted years ago but as usual all the unions dont give a feck
You should be helping drivers out of these charges regardless of if they are members

I am NOT a union rep

It's not a union.

So what you're suggesting Skippy is that people should interfere whether the drivers asked for help or not? If they are not members you cannot assume they want your help. Apart from that what would be the point of becoming a member if non members get the same treatment
