- Taxi tariff
- Official route/source found
Tariff content checked 23 October 2026. Two official sources disagree about tariff 2. The standalone August 2022 card gives an initial 1,280 yards/4 minutes 48 seconds, then 160 yards/36 seconds; the June 2026 policy appendix instead gives 1,320 yards/4 minutes, then 220 yards/40 seconds. A policy appendix alone is not a final fare-variation decision. The applicable operative version has not been resolved, so neither night schedule is silently selected and no model is enabled.
- Mandatory qualifications
- Official route/source found
Enhanced DBS/update service, safeguarding and child-exploitation training, Safer Cabbying test, medical, DVLA checks and right-to-work evidence are required.
