Description: Greater Manchester’s proposed taxi and private hire Minimum Licensing Standards are designed to make services safer and more customer-focused, with high environmental and accessibility standards.
Taxis and private hire services are a crucial part of our transport network. They provide an important service, particularly for those without access to a car, and people who don’t live or work near other parts of the public transport network.
We want to see taxi and private hire services in Greater Manchester deliver a safer, high-quality experience for everyone, every time, using vehicles that meet high environmental standards.
That’s why Greater Manchester’s ten local councils, supported by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), have developed a proposed set of common, minimum standards for taxi and private hire drivers, vehicles and operators licensed in Greater Manchester.
