Background

We ask the Government to create an independent regulatory authority for the private hire sector. This regulation should ensure fair pay structures for drivers, set fair minimum fares, cap commission, and protect drivers from unfair practices by private hire operators.

Additional details

We are concerned that many private hire drivers are affected by unregulated pricing, including low pay, high commission, insufficient protections, and lack of transparency.
