THE PROVINCIAL TAXI AND PRIVATE HIRE CAR INDUSTRIES

This paper reports the findings of a survey of all district councils in England and Wales (the regulating authorities for taxis and hire cars outside London) at the end of 1980 to establish the nature of licensing and operation in their respective areas. Data are presented on the number of vehicles licensed at the time of the survey, trends in the magnitude of the industry in particular areas, quantity control, and fares. Comparisons are made with the bus and coach industries. (TRRL)
