Three things the "im a hack, ill sit on the rank, wealth will surely come to me" brigade lack

BTW, theres not "PH circuits" and "HC circuits", there's just CIRCUITS, while the HC and PH bicker the little fish can swim...

Its not just the amount of cabs,the public just don't use you like they use to.

But mr Sussex we all know the real reason for this mess, these guys were sold dreams of deregulation, quality control, call it what you will.

Once again you are presented with the evidence of what you and the LC propose in the rest of the UK, and once again you choose to ignore it.

Free for all doesn't work, the market doesn't find it's own level, it's over supply, more cars, more waiting around, and ironically higher fares become the norm in these areas.

Correct, and there's not a lot any of us can do about that.

Perhaps it's time to find out why customers don't use taxis anymore

Can it get any worse in Milton keynes?
since the council had deregulated taxi numbers times have gone from bad to now worser than ever,
First few years after we got deregulated its was ok as there was still a little work to go around but now its worser than ever as we have not many rank spaces and there are just too many cabs now.
Last year when the survey was done December 2011 there was 217 hackney carriages operating in Milton keynes with rank spaces of 80 now 1 year on theres are now 304 Hackney carriages all fighting for work.
We have a rank outside Mcdonalds in the Centre for 10cabs but youll be waiting around a hour to get a local £4 fare.
The train station is the busiest rank but has space for 100cabs and during the day if you park there you can be waiting 2-3hours+ for a fare you just cant make a decent living anymore were litrally dieing with more cabs coming on the road day by day as people who loose a job just start driving taxi and numbers just keep increasing and increasing.
Currently in working 16hours a day and honestly not even making 50 quid and after fuel and expences not left with anythink.
Is it this bad anywhere else in the country?

Milton Keynes cabbies committed SUICIDE maybe others will realise and defend themselves maybe not, but they cant plead WE DID NOT KNOW for here's an example of what can happen if you dont listen, and its a shame to see workers livlihood's destroyed but inevitable with their mindset

If your a union recruitment officer your wasted, but where your talents lie I cannot tell
