| Comment | Lorry drivers, etc are employees with a guaranteed hourly wage and also get paid for the hours they are on break. Taxis and PH are self employed and have no guaranteed hourly rate and can often go hours with zero income... limiting driving hours like you suggest would hike fares dramatically.
Time will tell on your second point, but the reason PHs pirate is because of over supply. Too many drivers, not enough jobs coming through to them. They become desperate to hit their targets as the night goes on without getting enough work. |
