Well he can't really rebuild it at no cost to the taxpayers if he isn't awarded the contract to rebuild it now can he? This whole things stinks...sadly not surprised...
I 100% agree with the new rules coming into play. Our taxis SHOULD be in a presentable and safe workable condition. Taxis and buses!! I totally disagree with the concept of leasing out plates and such. I feel that if the taxi plate is in the name of 'John Smith', than the vehicle should be registered to a John Smith and insured by a John Smith and driven by a John Smith. Unless of course some plates are assigned to Meter Cab or some other formal taxi service that is fully incorporated and insured. The amount of crap cars running around with taxi plates is crazy. Think I even saw some small micro car like a Yaris or smaller running with taxi plates. Maybe if the taxi drivers were held responsible for maintaining their vehicles to a higher standard, they would drive more carefully and responsibly. I don't know if there is a way or a process to ensure that a taxi plate is always assigned to a vehicle that is on the road and under a current inspection? As part of the road traffic inspection process, they check off which plates are actively on specific vehicles for that part of the calendar year. If it sits idle the plate holder is contacted and informed to surrender the plate.
