Cambridge taxi driver says they often earn less than minimum wage
Fears were shared that some taxi drivers could be “priced out” of Cambridge if they faced higher costs to operate in the city.
A Cambridge taxi driver has said they can often end up earning below the minimum wage working in the city. Mohammed Irfan said he had been earning less over the last few years, which meant he was struggling to keep up with “rocketing living costs”. Other taxi drivers in the city also shared the financial issues they were facing, with some raising concerns that taxi drivers could be “priced out” of the city.
The drivers also shared concerns that a licensing policy change put in place by Cambridge City Council could make their situations harder. They called for the city council to further delay its policy change that would require them to buy a ultra-low emission or electric car when they needed to replace their existing taxis.
