Not wise or fair to be name dropping someone whilst making a serious accusation. Especially since you’ve probably got the wrong name - and also got the police involved.
The method you used will simply reveal the owner of the taxi and not the driver. In many circumstances taxi owners do not even drive the cab at all.
All taxis with a yellow sticker SHOULD have a card machine. From what I am lead to believe all taxis dispatched by Glasgow Taxis must have a working card machine as per company policy.
However if you hail a taxi from the street it is regulated under the conditions of GCC public hire (and not Glasgow Taxis policy) and as such no requirement to accept card payment. Would take a real bastard though to refuse card payment on a technicality.
GCC really need to make it part of the license conditions to have working card terminals. |
