Minicabs will never have parity with real London Taxi's, you know that, I know that, and Ken will make sure of that. :wink:

Anything that involves you is doomed to fail from day one. :D

Clueless.

I wish you well, and let's hope Red Ken wont let you down. 8-[

As for the pros and cons of the issue, it stinks and it stinks big time. When you were un-licensed you didn't deserve to have bus lane access. But times have changed and now you do.

It's utter madness that taxis from elsewhere can have free-reign in London's bus lanes, but London licensed vehicles can't. [-(

Why not let everyone, white vans, motor cyclists, private cars, EVERYONE use bus lanes, and red routes? Problem solved.
