Not safe
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for deciding which taxi and private hire companies are licensed. Those decisions are taken by local elected bodies, usually local councils. In London, the decision was taken by Transport for London, which is accountable to the elected London Assembly.
The London Assembly has its own petitions process. You can find out more about how to petition the London Assembly here:
