Ban taxis/PHVs licensed in one area from predominantly working in another

Ban taxis/PHVs licensed in one area from predominantly working in another — 63 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

The Government should ban Predominantly Out Of Area Working (POAW) by taxis and private hire vehicles (PHVs) which are often licensed in one area and yet predominantly work in another.

Additional details

The taxi trade cannot exist without cross border hiring in its true meaning which is intrinsic to the transportation of passengers according to their needs. However, taxi and private hire vehicles should predominantly work in the area where they are licensed.
