  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 22 May 2025
Given Manchester’s Licensing Authority has relaxed the requirement for all taxis to have a tight turning circle and has consequently licensed the Ford MaxiCab for use as a taxi, many London taxi drivers have been calling on TfL to follow suit. They argue that licensing this more affordable vehicle would help part-time drivers – particularly those with caring responsibilities or disabilities – remain in the profession. What consideration have you and TfL given to licensing more affordable vehicles to be taxis in London?
