JD A great many people have put points of view across, they have put them across in their own way , I am more than sure they have formed their opinion one way or another, Damien has been in the Liverpool licensing department since he was a boy, and lived through the farce of Liverpool being D-reg, I'm sure he is quite capable of looking at Birmingham which is D- regulated, I think you know the city, a city where people cannot get licensed vehicles late at night, and un-licensed vehicles are out of control. To me the picture you have shown is proof of a first class Taxi service the , everyone home in bed including the Taxi drivers' when their work is finished. they seemed very professional.
. Wirral deregulated 4 years ago the entire quantity control mob, said it would not work it would be a disaster. It was said there would all be bankrupt, the world would end. Then there were 126 cabs now there 280 cabs they still keep moaning, peddling the same old jargon. If things were so bad, there would not be 280 cabs. It’s that simple, how ever you dress it up, it works.
Mr T would say to many cabs all the time .
Birmingham deregulate Mr T says there are not enough cabs, at certain times. Well that’s true in Quantity controlled Liverpool, I think that would be the case in most cities. Birmingham like London has proper Quality controls. So if there are not enough cabs at peek times. Change the tariff, water down the street knowledge.
But Quality controls still remains the best and most popular, and fairest system in this country. Regards streetcars.
You are being naughty, you know I do not disagree with issuing plates, I just believe that over supply is of no use to anyone, But you know that don't you?? it is my understanding that all the hackneys On the Wirral now have to have a private hire radio in just to make a living, that's another 85 pound a week, also they are being hounded for over ranking, are there any new ranks,? I think not, London knowledge test, I would not compare it with Liverpools, it did not take you three to four years to pass, no comparison, not even an argument, I seem to remember Liverpool putting in a extra tariff of £1 after midnight a number of years ago, which was removed after complaints from drivers regarding the fact that the general public thought they were being ripped off, and on numerous occasions decided it was the driver who was doing the ripping off, I think that was the year Liverpool cab drivers started their own boxing team....!!
