It's all good, man
Every company would be faced with the same problem, so competition shouldn't enter the equation.Private hire drivers and couriers would suffer most, the black cab drivers could probably force a rate rise. But drivers who depend on an office to book work would depend on the company they work for a) agreeing to a fare increase and b) passing it on to the drivers. Given the level of competition and the (non-existent) ethics of the industry they'd lose out big time just as they do every time fuel prices go up.
Do you think people who only drive 1000 miles a year should subsidise taxi drivers?
