Apples and oranges.By applying that logic, every bus company should have every size bus, in every specification, just in case someone wants one. It isn't practical.
So why is every London black cab wheelchair accessible? Has it put all the drivers out of business?Wheelchair accessible vehicles cost more, it could well be that buying a wheelchair accessible vehicle of that size makes the purchase unviable, then everyone loses out because no-one would operate a taxi!
The taxi firm in Falmouth that richw highlighted manages not to overcharge - as do many other taxi firms across the country.
But Borough Taxis seem to think they are a special case. If the "North East's largest taxi firm" cannot manager a mixed fleet of appropriately-sized vehicles then they don't deserve to hold a licence.
