Taxi and Private Hire Trade (3)

  • Reference: 2018/1267
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
TfL are looking to make Public Hire vehicle roundels more visible. the vast majority are not recognisable due to blacked out windows. Surely, for public safety you should be instructing TfL to change the conditions at the point of licencing ensuring vehicles are only licensed if all windows have 25% tint as taxis do. Will you action this?

Taxi and Private Hire Trade (2)

  • Reference: 2018/1266
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
If a Private Hire (PH) driver decides to sell his PH TfL registered vehicle, it can be sold with the roundel still in place. This can then be bought and the vehicle used to evade the congestion charge or used by sexual predators or criminals masquerading as mini cab drivers. For the sake of public safety, do you agree with the London Cab Drivers Club, that a policy should be put in place so PH drivers must surrender and send back roundels to TfL as soon as the vehicle changes owner?

Taxi and Private Hire Trade (1)

  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 17 May 2018
TfL allowed Uber to operate in the on-demand market without changing the legislation, holding a consultation or informing the Taxi Industry. Taxis and Private Hire (PH Vehicles) now operate in the same market. Taxis (stringently regulated) have to compete with PH who benefit from light touch regulation. TfL decide what vehicle Taxis drivers drive and set their fares, leaving drivers with no control or choice with regards to costs. PH Operators on the other hand have the flexibility to bring down fares and PH drivers have multiple choices of vehicles to keep their outgoings to a minimum. How do you...
