I know what you were meaning TDO, :) but it does not alter the fact that the Law in Scotland allows the number of Taxis to be limited, so until it changes (if it ever does) at least the SUD's should be carried out in a more proffesional manner.

Maybe the trade in Edinburgh should suggest to the council that a proper survey is conducted, and Jacobs should be made to fund it. :wink:



Not a bad Idea, but whats the point of looking at demand if you don't consider the rise in Ph to be part of the equation.

I think you can safely say the council could squeeze on a few taxi plates every month keeping up with demand from both the public and the drivers.

The only problem is the vested interest crew harping on about their plate value and the availability of drivers to milk.

Well that would certainly fall into my view of a proper survey.

Also isn't high plate premiums meant to be evidence of SUD? :-k

We can include them if you want but I don't think that matters unless they are driving Ph when there doing them.

i havent read this report yet, but what i can tell you it was a better piece of work than the last one.

And I am sure that the author of this report has moved on to pastures new.

But you guys, haha its funny observing you. Some of you are just wanna be Hackney Drivers, now you cry about plate values, next you will want standards to fall.

I am sure that Mr T would not post as someone else, why would he want do that?

Erm....correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you need to OWN a hackney carraige and be a licensed OPERATOR [u] before[/u] you contemplate buying a permit ?????? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Or is this another little FACT to be ignored, as it does not quite fit with the current argument you are espousing ??

Or am I being too pedantic once again ?? :D :D :D [/quote]

Do us a favour Mike, Jasbar gave you the opportunity to confront the issue, why don't you give it a shot.


Pick a topic and confront it without all this [edited by admin].


He's called you out mate, lets see what you've got?
