So what do drivers do if they're working for Delta and they are also working for UBER, do they leave their Delta magnets on or run bare/ Most punters like to see the name of the company on the side of the vehicle.


It's a condition of licence in Sefton that the P/H have to display the name of the company they are working for...you would not want a vulnerable person or child to be put in the wrong vehicle..



Hence my reply mate with the door stickers.

So if the plate information was on the door instead of the operator name and phone number would that not be enough? Considering that most systems now tell the punter the make, model, reg and colour of the vehicle collecting them why can't it give the licence number as well, problem solved

I think your fears are justified.
