We have regular meetings with the Mayor of London and discuss a range of topics including the Private Hire Vehicle trade.

The respective standards between taxis and private hire vehicles are a matter for the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL). The TfL Board recently approved a number of reforms to the private hire vehicle regulations, including more robust insurance requirements.
