Hackney cabs are *most certainly public transport*. Everyone is
entitled to use them on payment of a regulated fare.

I don't see how having a regulated fare has anything to do with it. Buses
can charge what they like for any given journey.

So on that basis you are left with "anyone can use them on paynet of a fare"
so that makes minicabs PT as well
