The previous Mayor introduced an age limit on Taxi and Private High vehicles. Since then TFL/TPH has licensed an additional 40-50,000 Private Higher Drivers this is forcing income of both trades to fall. Can the Mayor explain how drivers are expected to purchase new vehicles if income is becoming less and less.
