Taxi Driver Online

So would you be so keen if you were a HC driver forced to run a more expensive WAV in a largely saloon area who has to sit on a rank while a stream of people walk past to get into a saloon?

Never mind though, there'll be a wheelchair along in a couple of hours, and the driver can then spend another unpaid twenty minutes loading it up to go RTFC.

Or what about a when theres saloons on the rank and the mother with the pushchair walks past them,or the 5 people

The % bit wont be enacted ever if taxi quotas go, as the % only applies to restricted areas.

Ive had several wheelchair users, none of them needed or wanted a vehicle where they would remain in their chair to travel, and from my observations those few that do travel in their chair always seem to travel cut price courtesy of the volunteer brigade who can always seem to be able to afford new or nearly new WAV VW transporters with fancy electronic lifts.

Seems unfair that operators are expected to supply similar high cost vehicles out of their own pockets and not from a charity fund like the volunteers.

Maybe a reduced fuel duty would help a bit.

And how can anyone expect someone to spend £35k TAP on a vehicle to ferry ppl around for £3.50p once an hour.

They shouldn't.

However many WAV jobs are highly lucrative, and, as I keep banging on about, you can buy a crash tested whole type approved WAV for under £17,000 from the Cab Direct.

That is of course if your LA allow such vehicles

Of course, but if councils want to go higher than the standard set by the Secretary of State, then one assumes they will have to have good reason.

Asking drivers to pay double the price for a gas guzzling rust bucket, will be a hard thing to justify.

Shouldn't the paying public have the choice to sit as a person in a car rather than as a tool box in a van,
