| Comment | Years ago, yeah, private hire firms were gangster owned. Glasgow Private Hire and it's predecessor firms were owned by Tam McGraw for example. The big firm in Paisley was owned by the Easdale family as another. They all have shady histories, but today they have all legitimized themselves. Yes, the firms were started and built on dirty money and were part of Glasgow's underworld, but they have reached the point where the money involved in taxis is in the millions and come with council and NHS contracts, so they have moved well away and isolated themselves from the things from their past. |
