I couldnt disagree more, private hire are just ordinary cars with plates on, part of the integrated transport system? dont make me laugh they dont understand the meaning of the word.
and what about those areas where a hack is just a normal car with a roof sign?
both HC & PH can use bus lanes here. no hassle. (unless theres actully a bus there!)
Stevo, a hackney carriage is public transport, private hire aint, it matters not about the vehicle but function.
having the private hire in bus lanes opens it up to all sorts of demands like private coaches that will eradicate the benefits.
so there your answer the answer should be public transport only.
