We know that John Griffin does and says whatever he likes
and that he seems untouchable, especially as over 100
tickets have been issued against his drivers for using the
M4 bus and taxi lane yet they still do it albeit with his
insistence that he wants a legal decision via a court case
to decide. But it must surely still be important that we try
to educate the public in knowing the difference between
private hire and taxis. |
WILL THEY NEVER LEARN???  |

companies that they are
doing something wrong? However, when it comes to places such as Euston Station, where taxis provide a 24-hour excellent service for their customers, surely they must know the difference between real taxis and minicabs? Yet they still allow those same minicab companies to advertise themselves as taxis. Dial-a-Cab driver Eddie Lambert (V27) is also the Chairman of the RMT’s London taxi branch. He |
told Call Sign
that his branch intend following through on this form of illegal advertising and would appreciate any photos of similar advertising where private hire pretend to be taxi companies. Undoubtedly, much of the blame rests with us because through the years we’ve tut-tutted but then just gone along our merry way. So if the RMT mean what they say and they can end the scourge of PH referring to themselves as taxis, then good luck to them... |

The London Taxi Service arrives in Riyadh! |
A high profile launch of the
London Taxi Service recently took place at the Kingdom Ma ll
in Riyadh. The occasion was marked by a special ribbon
cutting ceremony performed by Ambassador Sir William Patey KCMG,
Sheik Nasser Alkahtani (President of the London Cab Club)
and the CEO of Manganese Bronze Holdings, John Russell. The London Taxi has been operating in Riyadh for some months now and the special event marked the official launch of the service throughout Riyadh. The London Taxi Service uses the unique London Taxi to provide a high-class premium transport service in the city. Trained and courteous drivers in smart uniforms open doors, carry luggage and drive carefully to ensure the passenger always experiences a comfortable, safe journey. "The London Taxi has been designed for the task of providing the ultimate in comfort, convenience and privacy," said John Russell, "but here in the Middle East it has also been adapted to cope with the extremes of temperature and operation conditions." There are currently over 100 London Taxis in Riyadh and more are on their way. The vehicles are all part of the London Cab Club, a uniquely designed loyalty club that rewards passengers for using the service. It has proved a huge hit and plans are now underway to launch it in other cities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Middle East. Poland, Spain, Ghana, and Malta are just some of the other countries where the London Taxi and the London Taxi Service have been proving a hit with passengers and drivers alike.
