A Cardiff Taxi Company is applying for permission to install security cameras in Cardiff city taxis according to Taxicardiff.info

The plans being proposed by the company would see small cameras installed in the back of every Cardiff Taxi, with a small monitor in the front next to the taxi driver.

The images from the camera inside the Cardiff Taxi would be recorded to a hard drive and stored for up to 28 days. These images could then be made available to Police or the Council afterwards.
It is thought that the cameras would help provide security not just for Cardiff Taxidrivers but also for passengers.

The scheme has already been trialed in London and Bristol where it has proved very successful.

Crime has been a problem for  Cardiff Taxi for a number of years.
There have been cases of taxi driver assaults and complaints from passengers about bogus drivers.

Cab firms such as Cardiff Taxi in the city are interested in testing out the cameras but concerned that some customers might be put off.

An application was put before Cardiff council’s public protection committee but was not approved as no-one from the manufacturer was present at the hearing.

Even the Cardiff Taxi trade has not escaped from the effects. Many Cardiff Taxi drivers believe that there may be a more significant cause of their lack of earnings.

To many Cardiff Taxis on the Road? Without a shadow of a doubt – if you ask most Cardiff Taxi drivers, but what can be done about this problem?

Over 300 Cardiff Taxi Hackney drivers jammed city centre rushhour traffic recently in a protest over the numbers of Hackney drivers. This just seemed to add to the problems.

The cabbies are upset about the lack of taxi ranks in the middle of the city and the number of new cab licenses being issued by Cardiff council.

Cardiff Taxi drivers are also unhappy with the one way system in St Mary Street and the sheer amount of roadworks currently taking place in and around Cardiff.

Currently Hackney cabs in Cardiff cause chaos at the cities central station with the shear numbers of cars causing jams at ranks – despite being given a new rank on the side of the station.

The main responsibility falls on the City Council to act, though at the moment little seems to be happening. Watch this space……….
