you talk about " private hire company’s giving details of the registration number of the cars and the identity of the drivers that have been sent to pick up people" does your company do that and what about the street cabs that don’t work with company’s??? And why if you don’t give a "monkeys about what goes on in Glasgow" post a reply.
I drive a plated black Taxi with an illuminated TAXI light on the front, I work for myself as the majority in London do.
Those drivers on circuits can have the customer called when they are outside.
Theres a slight difference you appear to have overlooked chipper, i'm meant to look like a cab so people hail me in the street or walk up to me at one of our many ranks.
Thats not what minicabs are there for. they are there for pre-booked work only.
I'll do the next bit in bold.
ADVERTISING / SIGNS ON MINICABS WILL MEAN, IN LONDON, THAT THOUSANDS OF MINICABS WILL TURN TO PARKING UP IN CENTRAL LONDON AND THE CITY OF LONDON, WHEN THEIR OFFICES IN THE SUBURBS ARE QUIET. IF THEY LOOK LIKE A TAXI WITH SIGNS AND ROOF SIGNS THEN PEOPLE WILL APPROACH THEM FOR A JOB.
Unlike your people in Edinburgh, most of ours have little morals.
You may have a few bad eggs who chance their arm, we have a never ending convoy of them every night trawling the streets looking to steal a job. Thats in unmarked cars with no signs, just wait until they get door or roof signs. Its a license to tout that they could only dream of.
They work 12 hour shifts for what amounts to peanuts in London.
This will be the perfect way for them to increase their takings without any extra tax or rent.
