There are some 13,000 taxis in the city and more than 40,000 other for-hire vehicles.************************************
Dougie, you want this!!!!!
Taxis only 25% of the hire car market?
Fecking nutter that you are Dougie. FFS grow up!!!
On the singular point you raised, how big is New York compared to Edinburgh?
13,000 licenced Taxi's to pick up of the street is 10 times the amount of Taxi's in Edinburgh, Edinburgh is probably 50 times smaller than New York.
To suggest Edinburgh could support 4,000 phc is BONKERS!!!
No Dougie, I know you're an idiot but pay attention.
Pro-rata number of taxis to private hire in New York, Edinburgh would have a further 3,000 private hire. Simple arithmetic, but not for you of course.
What were you sayig about "Bonkers"?
The Medallion value to company's is nearly $600,000 dollars, the number of medallions are restricted but it's the regulator or LA that set the base price, the medallions are then auctioned to the highest bidder, this raises money for projects within New York
If the medallions are worth $600,000 dollars to companies, how does this value transfer to the city for projects? Methinks you've added two and two and got five. Dosn't surprise though.
I'm for a similar system where our council sets a much higher New Licence fee granted amount for Blacks and Phc, doubling per plate held, if held by a company who are a mass plate holding company, this way doesn't affect the individual, we cannot restrict the number of phc plate's but we can squeeze out the profiteers and infiltrators of the phc trade by bringing in a similar model to New York
Now stick that in your PIPE and smoke it
If my views are significant they will influence, if not who gives a feck
Trust me Dougie, your views are deranged. Thankfully even our politicians couldn't make such a hash of it.

Even if raising the cost is UN-REASONABLE, the growth of phc in Edinburgh is un-reasonable as Edinburgh is a limited market and the profiteers and infiltrators are taking advantage of an outdated system of allocation.
