as the saying goes united we stand divided we get sweet FA
https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/west-lothian-taxi-fare-freeze-29012834Taxi fares in West Lothian will be frozen until November next year.
The decision followed a consultation among operators who were divided between backing an increase and those who thought it would hurt business.
Objections and division remain within the trade, with some suggestions that fares need to rise similar to neighbouring Falkirk, by up to 10 per cent.
One operator said that keeping fares at the same level fixed in 2022 would mean drivers were “working for below minimum wage.”
There was also criticism of the council’s public consultation process, which was launched in local media following consultation with the trade in January.
