Rejected petition Phv drivers licensed by Tfl should show individual license number on the vehicle

Phv drivers operating with Tfl license should show identifiers in the same way Hackney Carriages ( Black cabs ) do to improve the accountability of those working within the Tfl network

More details

The system is already in place for Black cabs so it wouldn’t be a great change or increase of workload for Tfl to include this for the Phv sector . Whom at present only show the rondel which in many cases isn’t visible due to tinted windows and rondel placement . The drivers should be as accountable as other customer transport services in the capital . This would be clearer to customers using ride share apps whose vehicle they are getting into and hopefully increase the diligence of drivers .
