507 with about 15 private hire and removed the cap in 2003

In September the council said that there was 576 and we reckon that another 30 have gone on since then, we have also 150 to 200 private hire, i am awaiting a foi to get the exact numbers so will let the forum know the true numbers when i get them .

So 15 private hire they remove cap and now 200 hmmm jasper and bawhead said that restriction causes ph to grow yet when capped 15

No numpty, what we've said is that PH can expand according to public demand.

Get with the prgram feckwit.

And pay attention.

So an increase of 69 in 7 years, then 30+ in 5 months.
The rush is caused by capping rumours.
There will be more as drivers and speculators try to get in before the door is closed.

What's the saloon to WAV ratio?



WAV avoidance.
We had 3 before the WAV rules came in and over 300 now. And that's with almost all PH drivers having a taxi driver's licence.

That has also been asked for in the foi Gusmac

nah rush is not caused by rumours ffs it caused by the F**king councill and the d**khead who decided these piles of sh*t pugs on and for that waste of a life cab inspector correct me if am wrong tone.

How many taxi badge holders is there in Dundee at this present time

1. 1511



How many Hackney taxi licences is there in Dundee at the present time

2. 603



How many taxi licences are wheelchair accesible licences

3. 269



How many Hackney taxi licenses are able to put on saloons

4. 334



How many private hire operators licenses is there in dundee at the present time

5. 171



How many rank spaces is there in Dundee

6. This information is held in length rather than vehicle capacity, taking the total length of all Taxi Rank Clearway bays within the Dundee area and assuming that each taxi being roughly 5m in length (and assuming taxi's park behind one another at regular intervals), Dundee has 718m of Taxi Rank Clearway (143 spaces) which are operational 24 hours, and 65m (13 spaces) of Taxi Rank Clearway which are operational 11pm-6am.



In addition to the above figures, Dundee City Council is proposing to increase the 24 hour spaces by 29m (6 spaces) and the 11pm-6am spaces by 22m (4 spaces).

269 out of 603 is only 44.61%

I can't see the proportion set by the Equality act being that low when it's announced.
If Dundee set a limit, it may not be for very long.

It isn't 44.61% its actually 53.72% the reason for this figure is the number can only be based on the last surveyed number of 507, this makes the portion of wheelchair vehicles over 50% of the required number of taxis to meet Dundee needs, we think it is going to be the highest the equality act will go for, if they go for a higher figure then you discriminate in the opposite direction.

269 + 334 = 603 not 507

What's the relevance of the 507 figure apart from the fact that it suits your argument better than the actual number of taxis??
