The decline of London’s iconic black cab - Transport Committee
Channel: London Assembly
Date: 2024-01-23

In 2023, there were 89,600 Private Hire Vehicles (PHVs) licensed in London, up from 49,900 in 2013. In comparison, the number of black taxis in London has fallen from 22,200 in 2013 to 15,100 in 2023.

With a sharp increase in the number of PHV options for Londoners to choose from, what role will the iconic black taxi play in London’s future transport network?

In this meeting, the London Assembly Transport Committee will meet tomorrow to examine the role of black taxis and PHVs in London’s transport network.

Guests include:
- Helen Chapman, Director of Licensing, Regulation and Charging, TfL
- Christina Calderato, Director of Transport Strategy and Policy, TfL
- Steve McNamara, General Secretary, Licensed Taxi Drivers Association
- Mariusz Zabrocki, General Manager, Free Now
- Steve Wright MBE, Chair, Licensed Private Hire Car Association
- Asher Moses, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Sherbet The Electric Taxi Company
