But it means cab drivers with vehicles which don’t meet the minimum standards will either have to buy new cars, or make them environmentally friendly to avoid losing their jobs.
Other Scottish cities have delayed the measures – but in Glasgow hundreds of taxi drivers say they need more time to bring their vehicles into compliance
C4Ciaran It's just money making out of so called global warming
C4Ciaran Next year is at least 4 months away. If they haven’t sorted themselves out yet, than I suggest they get onto AutoTrader_UK . Thick end of 7000 EVs on there today (min 5 seats) noExcuse
C4Ciaran What is Ciaran’s angle on this. Does he want vehicles belching pollution in our City Centres. The LEZs have been commonplace in many European cities for years and I understand these taxi firms have had plenty notice
C4Ciaran Politicians are treating cars like smart phones and laptops. Changes in law and highway codes are forcing perfectly working cars to be replaced by newer models, that in turn will need replacing in a few years time. Climate guilt = climate scams = wasting your life away.
C4Ciaran Surely all inner city taxis should be electric
C4Ciaran What is Curran’s angle on this. Does he want vehicles belching pollution in our City Centres. The LEZs have been commonplace in many European cities for years and I understand these taxi firms have had plenty notice
C4Ciaran Dear England, The redundant UK, a paper-political union is NOT working for you... Scottish Water is nationalised. These Scottish MPs kids can swim in clean rivers and coasts where it's ILLEGAL to dump raw sewage... Meanwhile, they VOTED to DUMP raw sewage in England's rivers!

C4Ciaran It's because they're whining shites like the taxi drivers of Greater Manchester. You're polluting, you pay for it. Sounds good to me.
C4Ciaran Will have been interesting hear a bit more about traffic pollution levels in Glasgow. It used to suffer badly with industrial pollution from smelting and steel.
C4Ciaran We need more imagination here. Too little too late and unfair on cab drivers.
