Government should empower TfL to set minimum per-mile and per-minute fares, as with black cabs, to ensure fair pay, sustainability, and service standards.","additional_details":"Private hire fares are unregulated, allowing platforms to increase commission and suppress driver earnings. In London’s high cost-of-living environment, this undermines workforce sustainability and service quality. Parliament should amend transport legislation to grant TfL explicit statutory powers to set minimum per-mile and per-minute PHV fares, aligning regulation with the licensed black cab model.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2026-02-06T10:21:02.907Z","updated_at":"2026-03-13T15:43:36.089Z","rejected_at":"2026-03-13T15:43:34.420Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-02-06T13:53:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"local","details":"This petition is local (London area only) and concerns TfL for whom the Government do not have direct responsibility."},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
