Would-be taxi drivers will still need to sit a topographical test — assessing their knowledge of Glasgow — to ensure they “know the city like the back of their hand”.
Cllr Alex WIlson, SNP, who chairs the licensing committee, had previously thought the test was “no longer fit for purpose” but he has “reviewed” his position. Applicants for a taxi driver’s licence — which also allows them to drive private hires — have been required to sit a test in person, in writing, in the city chambers under exam conditions. They received the result once the test had been marked by a licensing official.
“I think the questions should be updated, the city does change very rapidly. That should be reflected in the questions that are asked.”
