TfL Taxi Consultation to "kill" Uber

At the station might it have just about worked to put up a sign saying something like "Why not ask others if they will share your taxi to keep costs down and keep things moving? Wait here if you'd like to do this." - leaving it to the passengers to get together to hire a taxi and split its fare, and thus making it legal? That might work, though there is a real risk that unlicensed touts would interpose themselves and start offering "service". Incidentally, there is a working system at Newark Airport where a despatcher (employed by the airport) allocates passengers/groups of passengers to taxis with a flat fare (flat by the vehicle, not per capita) to specific places. That's places, not addresses. The last time I used it I paid $45 from the airport to a NJ city on the Hudson. |
