Every taxi driver should follow the code of conduct of taxis and private hire like frimley taxis does in frimley area. Drivers and cabs should be clean and the drive should be comfortable. Only licensed drivers.
ReplyDeleteTaxis—described in legislation as 'hackney carriages'—operate from ranks, usually situated in city and town centres, and can be hailed in the street (known as 'plying for hire'). PHVs—sometimes known as minicabs—must be pre-booked and cannot use taxi ranks. Walton Taxis can accept pre-bookings and effectively operate as PHVs but it is illegal for PHVs to ply for hire. The Department told us that "there are some 75,000 licensed taxis and 150,000 PHVs across some 300 licensing authorities in England and Wales"
ReplyDeleteCommittee publications from the 2010 Parliament include Reports and associated evidence, Responses to Reports, oral and written evidence that has yet to be or is not associated with a Report (this includes transcripts of recent evidence sessions), correspondence and other material related to the work of the Committee. My company Camberley Taxis follows all the restriction made by Publication of Transport Committee.
ReplyDeleteThe Government is grateful to the Transport Committee for undertaking an inquiry into taxis and private hire vehicles (PHVs). The Committee's report provides a helpful analysis of the issues and it demonstrates just how complex those issues can be—and how widely opinion varies about the best way of moving forward.
