it’s us against them 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇮🇱 Spurs

[TC @TheCabbyPlumber]

@CricketDad23 Spurs have priced the cup game v Charlton at £25 adults £5 kids. They’ll get 60,000 people turn up amd spend a few quid at the stadium in the bars and club shop. The ECB are clueless

@SinghPaul25317 @The_LCDC @BondCabdriver Because their app can put lots of buns on seats. But we need to have a industrial policy with them that allows the trade to negotiate pay and conditions

[TC @TheCabbyPlumber]

Spot on. September will be busy enough for every driver to strike from their platform until Lyft/Freenow ask to speak to us.
Then we demand a maximum 10% commission, which then reduces to 5% when it’s busy.
The power is in the cab drivers hands @The_LCDC @BondCabdriver

[PJS @Pjs67Pjs]

If only drivers would stand together and the orgs tell them max 10% or nothing .. they need taxis so much more than we need them. 10% or stick it!! We are a fully disabled accessible fleet that knows London like no other.. we need to realise our worth.

We had it all!
Driver owned circuits, Xeta, Zingo, Hailo.
All sold for a mess of pottage.
We invented the tech.
Maybe we should have counselling for self harming?
MaxiVan another episode of it?

@taximanant @The_LCDC @TheLTDA That a battle we’ve faced since Welbeck motors started!
We need to make sure we offer a premium product. All make sure cabs are clean in & out and drivers improve their appearance. No vests 😂

TFL licensing driverless mini-cabs could benefit the black cab trade.
They’ll undercut the current mini-cab driver, which will mean less PH drivers clogging the streets up and anyone with a brain will choose a licensed taxi every time @TheLTDA @The_LCDC

@Macawber4 @gibbocharlie80 @Anthony23Bryant @The_LCDC If the TXE was that great then cab drivers all over the UK would be buying it. But where they’ve got a choice they always choose something else

Robotaxi NYC safety case doesn’t hold up: Report | https://t.co/Y0DgmzlKSf

[Taxi-Now @Taxi__Now]

Taxi Now Group is launching Cabs Into Camden — a formal campaign to reverse the licensed taxi exclusion on Tottenham Court Road.

Every licensed London taxi is legally required to be wheelchair accessible. Tottenham Court Road’s exclusion removes the only fully accessible transport option from one of London’s busiest streets, all day, every day.

Here’s what that actually costs. Under the Equality Act 2010, we cannot refuse a wheelchair passenger.

Take a wheelchair passenger from the bottom of Tottenham Court Road up to University College Hospital at the top — a journey that should run straight up one road. We can’t do that. We’re forced to route around the exclusion zone entirely, turning a direct trip into a detour. That’s extra time, extra distance, extra fare — charged to a passenger who, by law, has no choice but to travel with us.

We’re also asking for the no-left-turn from Tottenham Court Road into Euston Road to be reversed — another restriction adding unnecessary detours to already accessible-only journeys.

Bank Junction faced the same exclusion for 7 years. City of London reversed it in 2024 — accessibility, safety record, and the fleet’s shift to zero-emission all factored in. The same case applies here, arguably more so.

This isn’t new to us — restricted area access has been part of our manifesto since we launched, alongside VAT and vehicle choice.

We’re writing formally to Camden Council and the Mayor’s office this week.
