All very well I don't agree with them...
I am refering to the stuff the goverment is playing with as regards tolls in city centres.

BUT....................
will taxis and p/h be exempted???
If they are not why not??? psv??? if busses are excempt taxis MUST be too surley??
If not how do you tell your punter. thats £5.30 plus £3 road toll charge??

thats gonna go down well.

I don't agree with them either but I would rather pay £1-30 to go under the Mersey Tunnel than try and go over it.

Come on Mr Sussex i gave you more credit than this, none of the transport trades stick together they would all much rather stab each other in the back, you only have to read these forums to notice that fella. On the issue of tolls though i think its diabolical but hey they have to recoop their money from somewhere now their not getting it from the smokers eh :sad:

Taxis have to pay road tolls like everyone else on the continent and I would guess they do on the M6 toll road and all the toll bridges as well. So it will just be another cost that the customer must pay. After all they would still have to pay if they used their own cars.

Well I think on an issue like this then we should be ok, if we use what little brain power we have.

From my point of view if the buses are exempt, then the taxi/PH trade should have a very good chance of exemption to.

Just leave it to me. :wink:

That is the congestion charge. Road pricing is a very different animal.
