Mr Oakes also defended the premiums for taxi plates on the basis that this rewarded drivers for good service and also provided an incentive to give a service of a high standard. He said: "If people out there have done good work and built their business up, then something drastic happens and they cannot work any more, why shouldn't they get something back? If someone pays £10,000 for a cab and plate, they will have to work at it to get their money back and will give a better service."
Spoken like a true [edited by admin].
I wonder how much Mr Oakes paid for his plate, what's the betting it cost him nothing? But he now wants to use it as an insurance policy.
If people build up a good business?
What about the journeymen who do most of the business building? What do they get back?
But at least if someone pays £10,000 for a plate, according to Oakes, the customers will get a better service. Well in that case if plates were £100,000 they would get even a better one.
