I couldnt disagree more, private hire are just ordinary cars with plates on, part of the integrated transport system? dont make me laugh they dont understand the meaning of the word.


and what about those areas where a hack is just a normal car with a roof sign?

both HC & PH can use bus lanes here. no hassle. (unless theres actully a bus there!)



Stevo, a hackney carriage is public transport, private hire aint, it matters not about the vehicle but function.

having the private hire in bus lanes opens it up to all sorts of demands like private coaches that will eradicate the benefits.

so there your answer the answer should be public transport only.

I suggest you look at your log book and see exactly how different a PH is to a HC.

Still I suppose it's all academic really, cos we will all be HCs soon, and of course Mr Guest you will warmly welcome us in. :wink:

Well I'm wondering what tune I will change. :?

If they de-limit, then they de-limit.

I work in a fully de-limited PH system.

Today, tomorrow hundreds could start. I don't need protecting by numbers, just standards. :wink:
