Quote: Further measures proposed include preventing taxi drivers/operators making money from the trading or renting of taxi plates and introducing financial and quality controls for those applying for a taxi licence
I kinda like this bit if it could be implemented cos I'm not a fan of trading or selling plates. I think this could work there it's only a little island and maybe it could be used like an experiment for the Uk. Oh well all we can do is watch and see

Quote: The measures involve removing the distinction between private hire taxis, which are booked over the phone, and ply-for-hire taxis — which wait for business at ranks — to create a 'single-tier taxi service for the Isle of Man'.
youd think hacks ONLY got work off a rank or by plying sometimes i can see it catching on though, and not a bad thing either, remove all the confusion |

Quote: Controls would include the requirement for vehicles less than two years old to be wheelchair-friendly, taxis more than 10 years old would not be re-licensed for further use as a taxi and the introduction of a £10,000 surety bond to dissuade frivolous taxi driver applicants.
I wonder if all the inhabitants are disabled, and it will mean forking out for a wav then 10k on top have the council lost the plot???? |

It's not nice to call people 'thick' even if they are and London standards should be increased with regards to their PH system I think it's terrible
