An interesting campaign has been set up to highlight the risk of using unlicensed taxis in Derbyshire.

The travelling general public in Southampton need to feel safe and secure at all times.  All Southampton Licensed Taxis have a corporate colour of White

In the year 2000, a Transport Package was introduced by Southampton City Council to promote public safety.

Having a corporate colour enables customers to identify a Southampton Taxi and gives our City a better image !

Also included within this package was the ability to have 35% of advertising on a vehicle, so even if a taxi has sign writing on it - feel safe to get in, as long as the red licensed plate is on the back of the cab and the driver is displaying his licence badge.  See southamptontaxis.org for full details.....................
