"The Cabby"
Taxi Sales Pressure
The Dundee Taxi Association (DTA) has been campaigning for regulation
for many years, arguing that increasing taxi sales have resulted
in too many cabs competing for business. They say that, with the
citys population shrinking, the problem is becoming worse.
Tony Waters, secretary
of Dundee Taxi Association, commented recently: It's unbelievable
that Dundee has got an open policy and is still handing out new
taxi licences. It just doesnt make sense. The pie is only
so big and the Dundee population is dwindling.
Pressure increased
on the licensing committee to implement such a change when nearby
Perth and Kinross licensing committee voted in favour of retaining
their taxi license cap, which has been in place since 1979.
