Bank Holiday , Monday 8th. May. Or is it ?
The meters were chipped before the Coronation
date was confirmed. As a result all taxi meters
are showing that as from 6am this morning
your meter will be running on tariff 1 , when
it should actually be running on tariff 3 .
The last time this happened ‘ Licensing ‘
produced an official looking sheet that you could
show passengers before commencing your
journey that an additional one third could be
added to the metered fare bringing tariff one to tariff
three . Today we have nothing . Is this an oversight
by a licensing department that puts many drivers
in an embarrassing position of having to explain
the increase. Drivers are able to charge extra for
choosing to work this day and I’m presuming
that anybody working for licensing will be paid
extra for working a bank holiday. It really beggars
belief that this simple task of producing an
explanation sheet that drivers can show passengers is
not available from a department that pays its employees
substantial salaries and provides gold plated
pensions .
