🎧 Should London Taxis Have Fixed Fares to Heathrow? | London Taxi Podcast In this episode of our London Taxi Podcast, we tackle a big question for the trade: 👉 Should there be fixed fares for London Taxis travelling to and from Heathrow Airport? 💬 The argument for fixed fares: Passengers might be more likely to choose a black cab if they know the price upfront. It could help compete with app-based services like Uber and Bolt. Most other major cities around the world already offer fixed airport fares. ⚠️ The argument against: It could mean losing hotel doormen who earn commission for arranging taxis. Drivers might lose flexibility and earnings potential. It could blur the lines between licensed taxis and private hire vehicles (PHV) in London. Join us as we debate the pros and cons, look at how other cities manage airport fares, and ask what this change could mean for the future of the London Taxi trade. 📍 In this episode: Why fixed fares could attract new passengers The risk of losing hotel partnerships How London compares to other global cities What drivers and passengers really think The future of black cabs in an app-driven market 🎙️ Listen now and have your say in the comments below! #LondonTaxi #BlackCab #HeathrowAirport #TaxiPodcast #FixedFare #TaxiDrivers #LondonCabbie #TransportLondon #PHV #TaxiTrade #TaxiIndustry #HeathrowTaxi #LondonCabs Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC92MPgJX5sUON85DjKLrpA/join
