Rejected petition Scrap congestion charge on private hire drivers in London and say no to it.
Further to new legislation being reviewed to charge private hire drivers congestion charge it is completely unfair and unjust, As its not drivers fault as they are providing a public service to millions of Londoners further more TfL shouldn't have issued so many licenses at the first place.

this is another way of to make money out hard working private hire drivers who are serving better then competitors in the market for fraction of the cost!
