Not sure where you get your figures from
ESTIMATED, proir to operators licensing in 2000, 60,000 minicabs in London.
ACTUAL, after stage one operators licensing, PCO website list over 4,000 licensed operators in London.
ACTUAL, over 30,000 tempory permits for drivers issued. 20,000 of which have already been issued with full PCO licenses. Plus the licenses issued to new drivers within the past three years.
If the ESTIMATED figure first stated is correct, then that means 50% of the drivers in London are illegal, sounds about right to me
