Petition

Phv drivers licensed by Tfl should show individual license number on the vehicle

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Phv drivers operating with Tfl license should show identifiers in the same way Hackney Carriages ( Black cabs ) do to improve the accountability of those working within the Tfl network
The system is already in place for Black cabs so it wouldn’t be a great change or increase of workload for Tfl to include this for the Phv sector . Whom at present only show the rondel which in many cases isn’t visible due to tinted windows and rondel placement . The drivers should be as accountable as other customer transport services in the capital . This would be clearer to customers using ride share apps whose vehicle they are getting into and hopefully increase the diligence of drivers .

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about driver licences for PHVs are a matter for TfL, not the UK Government or Parliament.
