Breaking News : TfL take Backward Step In Regards To CC Mandate And Taxi Condition Of Fitness

TfLTPH have shown today, show that the Credit Card mandate is a product of third party interest rather than what's best for the driver and the passenger. 

News was a foot early in the day when CabVision posted on their Twitter feed that there would now be a soft launch to the conditions of fitness concerning rear fitting of machines in Taxis. 

I then spent all afternoon trying to get a statement from the TfLTPH Twitter account but as normal with important trade issues, my questions were completely ignored. 

It was then left to the Chairman of Dial a Cab to break the news via the Save Our Black Taxis FaceBook account. 

Apparently the mandate is still being finalised as new legal implications have emerged and so the date for mandated acceptance has been moved from the 3rd of October p the end of the month 31st October. 

The condition of fitness fit CC machines to be rear fitted, has now been moved to 1st Jan 2017 and that official.

TfL will of course be busy letting all third parties know the new arrangements before they make an announcement to the trade.
