KUPKAKE’S KORNER

Now the Bendy Cab?
I've found out, I've got it sussed, an add-on to the bendy bus!
Regardless of which model you have Ken’s gonna make the Bendy cab!
All those Fairways and FX4s, the ones we can't use any more, will
be rebuilt on their chassis frames to make Ken’s bendy Taxi
Trains
Six joined-up bodies, just imagine, minus the boots and drivers
cabin, each pod having 6 plush seats with a uniformed driver to
meet and greet!
Towed through town by an electric tractor, (must include the E.P.A.
factor), preset routes with prepaid fares no more knowledge… no
one cares.
A line of once proud London Taxis, now confined upon their axles,
to follow blindly night and day and take the tourists on their
way.
Am I crazy? NO for sure, this Mayor has now found a cure, at
last he has full domain of rebellious cabbies with his Taxi
Train…

On behalf of DaC, Mike Son has been in
ongoing discussions with the Corporation of London re parking
problems our drivers have in the City. At last there has been a
breakthrough…
DAC CITY PARKING PROBLEMS |

Corporation
of London agree to relaxation of restrictions…
Following on from my previous articles regarding the difficulty
in parking in the City area for Dial-a-Cab drivers on radio
jobs, I’m pleased to tell you that the City of London
Corporation Planning & Transport Managers Department together
with the Traffic and Environmental Planning Department, have
agreed to the relaxation of parking restrictions outside some of
our clients addresses where we are receiving the highest number
of Penalty Charge Notices.
As from 18 December, the Loading and
Unloading restrictions were withdrawn and replaced by single
yellow lines at the following addresses:
Weil Gotshal & Manges at the south side of South Place,
Citigate Dewe Rogerson at 3½ London Wall, Denis Clayton &
Company Ltd of 69 Leadenhall Street, Zurich Strategic
Relationship Management at 90 Fenchurch Street and Pelham PR of
1 Cornhill.
However, it is important that you remember that this isn’t a
go-ahead to have an unlimited stop. There is going to be an
increase in observation time from the no waiting at any time
to five minutes. That gives you the time to go into the
reception and either pick up or tell the client where you will
be. Even if the signs have not been taken down, no Penalty
Notices will be issued as from 18 December.
My sincere thanks for the help and consideration the Corporation
has given…
