But I can't see how enforcement is working in London.
Why, what's the big problem with the black cab trade?The problem with London as far as I see it is that the minicab trade has historically been unregulated and the black cab sector is at the other extreme.
PH licensing and enforcement generally has no doubt helped a bit, but once the mess is made it takes a Herculean effort to clear it up, and I doubt if the PCO (or whatever it's called now) is up to the task.
The rest of your comments I agree with.
