Having a call centre in the area to which you are licensed isn't onerous.

Expecting drivers to be able to converse and understand the local language isn't onerous.

Having insurance that lasts for the length of the license isn't onerous.

They are IMO the basics.

This guy is well named TITcomb,proved again a thick journalist who has not a clue about the TAXI and private hire trade.

Technology is not all its cracked up to be,had to tell a UBER punter on Saturday that he had been dropped off at a street that was 5 miles from his destination street of same name,left him standing as he had no cash.

Uber don't use drivers, they use steering wheel attendants, an interface between computer and machine.
