The business si already affected by this virus and like self employed, if we need to pay £22.5 a day to get inside central London with our customers, we don't produce nothing.
More details
Because the minicab drivers are affected by this corona virus situation and to get 5 days a week inside CC and Ulez charge, will be an extra charge between £52.5 to £112.5 a week for the minicabs. The livelihood of a minicab is already affected by the corona virus. An extra charge will be very damaging for the business.
