Taxi Driver Online

Had a quick read of the DfT's response, and it all seems a bit pointless, and seems to simply rehash the best practice guidance.

Funny, too, that there's zero mention of checking the plates etc - wasn't that supposed to be what punters were to rely on in addition to vehicle info via texts or apps, or whatever?

And the DfT mentions the exemption from the signage ban if there's an 'exclusive relationship' between operator and driver

Which I'd guess would apply to just about every one of Wolverhampton's 400+ PH operators, apart from, um, Uber and Bolt.

So even under the guidance, the vast majority of operators' cars can still use what's described by the DfT as 'discrete' signage? Which I think, from memory, Wolverhampton Council defines as A4

I mean, A4-sized door signs, discrete?

Therefore - and maybe I'm missing something - apart from possibly some Uber and Bolt drivers, nothing much has changed?

And I would say a significant number of the drivers on Uber and Bolt only work for Uber or Bolt.
