Hackney Carriage & Private Hire Licence Condition Proposals.

Cashless Payment Facilities

Following a recent request by the Brighton & Hove Cab Trade Association (BHCTA) at the last Taxi Forum, the Taxi Licensing Team wish to re-consult the Trade on a proposal to make all Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicles have a functioning cashless payment facility available for passengers.

With the growth of cashless payments in the UK and most of the population not carrying or using cash during Covid-19, it is reasonable to ensure that hackney carriage and private hire vehicles have facilities to offer cashless payments if required by the passenger.

Proprietors may also have a receipt printing facility should they wish to do so.

If you have any comments on the proposal please reply to this email taxilicence@brighton-hove.gov.uk or send your comments to the Taxis Licensing Team, Hove Town Hall, Norton Road, Hove, BN3 3BQ by the 21st November 2021.
