TAXIS vs. BUSES * UK - Westminster escalate hostilities against the taxi trade
After their initial assault on the licensed taxi trade with the inception of the first private hire rank in Whitcomb Street, Westminster City Council has decided to escalate the hostilities by banishing the word taxi from many of their bus lanes signs
Westminster,London,UK -The Anderson Shelter, by Thomas the Taxi -30 June 2009: -- First we noticed the sign had been changed in Victoria Street, junction with Buckingham Palace Road, where the central bus lane now displays a newly erected sign that excludes taxis. As you go over the lights the word taxi is then visible on the sign at the beginning of the bus lane that runs along Grosvenor Gardens. Taxis have been allowed to use this lane for many years as it was felt necessary for the safety of the public and the driver when picking up from the tube entrance not to have to cross the bus lane, when wishing to go north. Now the right has been taken away, or has it?...
More and more square footage of the public highway is being denied to the licensed taxi trade every year, with Westminster being the worst offender. Bus lanes, environmental areas and thick red lined bus stops are making our job a headache. With more and more things we have to worry about we seem to be losing the right to just go about our daily work... We also ask if they will be prosecuting taxi drivers who as yet have not noticed this important change to their rightful passage through the borough...Labels: taxis versus buses
