Hackney carriage drivers have meters to keep them honest of course. One
reason why licensed hire cars in Cambridge have meters.

The habit of refusing to use them seems particularly popular late at
night in MK. And they *all* refuse, so you can't just get in the one
behind. And the Council has no interest in removing their licences
for doing so.

When I was a Cambridge city councillor we had a good enforcement team and
good relations with the taxi and hire car trade on most things. We certainly
wouldn't have stood for that within the city.
