He even provides the figure to show the increase in public demand for taxis/PH. HC has grown by 6.5% plates since 1990, where as PH has grown by 270%. it doesn't take sherlock holmes to work out there is a real increase in public demand for a taxi/PH service. He then goes on to say that the private hire trade has taken the traditional markets, this may well be true but that is because the so called 'traditional market' is dying off, they invented a thing called a mobile phone a few years ago mr. Hamilton and the public like to use them. The PH market has moved with the times, and the customers want a professional taxi service that comes to them not them needing to walk to a rank.
Yes at one stage it was PH bringing them in, but now with mobile phones they are getting bites at both cherries by takin em home as well, while we hacks on the ranks twiddle our thumbs
have noticed recently that there are more and more hacks with a week day normal job than ever before, come Friday they are out in force for 20 hrs shifts till Sunday early hours,
