Taxi regulator scraps €233,000 window sticker initiative
The taxi regulator has reportedly scrapped a new customer information service that required drivers to erect window stickers in their vehicles.
The stickers, which were launched just three months ago, contained information on fare structures, customer rights and contact details for the regulator.
Reports this morning say the scheme has cost around €233,000, with the money coming from licence fees paid by taxi drivers.
However, the stickers are reportedly being scrapped after drivers complained that they were interfering with electric windows and being peeled off by passengers.
Taxi unions also claimed the stickers made their members a target for robberies when their vehicles were parked outside their homes.
