Uber Era:
The concept of a taxi
in the world has changed and the process is
so simple to ride in the taxi or to drive a taxi car. When the things are
growing rapidly, it becomes more complicated to handle all the issues. To solve
these complexities in the taxi business,
an Uber era Begins. They privately hire the cars, drivers are the owners of
their vehicle. They just need to pass the simple driving test which excluded of
knowledge base test. Knowledge base test is compulsory for those drivers who
are driving in the main city, like London. So if we take the great city of
London as a case study then we can fully understand the issues of taxi business
in London.
Minicab number:
Many people have written blogs and Streatham minicabs business has discussed in the news. A narrative was
established that after Uber era things have been changed. Uber can easily hire the private vendors in
their stream. As I discussed earlier that don’t need to pass knowledge base
test in which a driver should completely know each and every nook and corner of the London city. From some
official figures, we can conclude that 20%
of minicabs have increased in past few years. This numbers didn’t affect the
minicab business. There are more than 80,000 taxi cars in which more than 14000
Uber private hire also included.
Regulations for
private hire:
Private hire taxi business so rapidly gets into the Streatham taxi market that the margin for
new regulations has created yet. This
business has also created hundreds of thousands of jobs for the private cars
owners. It created social mobilisation
and connected the people with short distances and minimum time. Certainly, this
narrative is not correct that private hire business replaced the minicab
business. There is some astonishing
factor that minicab drivers are also using the Uber app in the main city.
Especially those drivers who drive in the suburbs of the city, find an illegal
mean to drive within the city. So, there
is an urgent need for regulation to establish for the future security of the
minicab and Uber’s private hire cars.
Business Vs income:
The increase in the
income of the company and all the staff employed by the business is the real success of any company. It has been
seen that drivers who are working with black cabs and minicabs are getting less
as compare to private hire cars. In private hire taxi business, companies
usually award the drivers and vendors
with rewards and guarantees which increase their income and makes them feel
secure. In addition to that riders also give the tips for their best services.
Minicab and black cab drivers get tips but due to the complexity of the calling riders usually not as such pleasant to
award any tip to the riders.
