Transport bosses are taking steps to address problems with Belfast's lack of taxis and late buses or trains ahead of the party season.
Official figures show that at the end of March 2022 there were 8,152 licensed taxi drivers, compared with over 14,000 in 2014. But in 2014 a bespoke theory and practical test was also introduced and currently only around 23% on average are passing the theory element. "We have said to any driver with a licence gathering dust that we'll help them to get back on the road quickly and easily by arranging a short-term car and insurance
They added: “DfI is responsible for the regulation of the taxi industry. This role requires balancing the needs of taxi customers, including vulnerable passengers, as well as drivers and operators. “Secondly, try and avoid booking more than one taxi and if you don't need another taxi, please cancel it. Some people book with several different taxi companies and when one turns up, they get into it. But the others also turn up only to find that they've had a wasted journey when they could have been picking someone else up.
Time for Belfast Live to do some real journalism on this issue instead of rolling out fonacabbelfast and their change legislation nonsense. We all know why they want this to happen and its not about getting people home from a night out 🙄. Lazy lazy journalism as ever from you.
Yeah the answer is to lower the standards not raise the tariffs. Soo predictable.
Translink_NI are a joke... any other city has late night weekend buses. In Glasgow you get 00.30. 01.30. 03.30buses home .
