Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Hidden Crisis Facing UK Cabbies as Manufacturers Stop Making New Vehicles
Q: If LEVC were still producing the TXE and had shown plans for a new vehicle, would you still feel the same need for another option in the market?
Even with planned future vehicles, Grant asserts a strong case for immediate choice, saying drivers need options now to avoid a drop in fleet numbers and to keep the trade viable in the near term.
The Hidden Crisis Facing UK Cabbies as Manufacturers Stop Making New Vehicles
Q: So do you want to tell us why you think we need another option, Grant?
Grant explains that without a new vehicle option, drivers could be left without a viable supply of cabs, potentially forcing the industry into a four‑year gap and harming service levels; he argues a Ford MaxiCab or similar alternative could stimulate the market and support second‑hand sales.
Who is Tom Hutley - Uber VAT Shift - Epic Boris Bike Ride
Q: How does Tom view the future of cab driving compared to autonomous vehicles?
Tom acknowledges the human element and edge cases that autonomous cars might struggle with, emphasizing the value of driver personality and real-time problem-solving but recognizes the need to adapt as technology evolves.
Who is Tom Hutley - Uber VAT Shift - Epic Boris Bike Ride
Q: What are the biggest changes facing Uber and private hire in London?
They discussed VAT shifts, responsibilities for bookings, and cross-border hiring, with concerns about how London-specific rules (like the Knowledge) interact with national standards.
The Secret Strategy Behind Building a Successful Taxi App Without Driver Fees
Q: How do you balance consumer price sensitivity with regulatory fares?
