Taxi firms in Glasgow have warned the trade is struggling as it faces difficulties sourcing vehicle parts and finding drivers.
Three operators appeared before the city’s licensing committee on Wednesday, January 11, after missing annual vehicle inspections.
She added: “Every operator has been affected by significant financial hardship in the current climate.”The operator also claimed a customer service course for drivers was “difficult to pass” and the topographical tests, required to be completed by hackney drivers but not private hires, was stopping drivers coming through the system.
Cllr Alex Wilson, who chairs the licensing committee, said he disagreed with some of Ms Clark’s points, as he believes the customer service course isn’t difficult and has been a “welcome addition” as some drivers weren’t reading the terms of their licence. “I want to be back creating jobs for the city, providing the public with transport home from their nights out and contributing to the Scottish economy,” she added.A representative from Lees Taxi Service, who said he had been in control of the business since 1979, said it was “the first time we’ve been in this situation”.
