From: Foi Enquiries To: Subject: FOI-16-0935 - Licensed Taxis Date: 28 July 2016 08:58:29 Attachments: Further Information - Right to Review & Appeal.pdf FOI-16-0935 - Taxi Drivers 25.07.16.xlsx Dear , Thank you for your information request of 29 June 2016. Aberdeen City Council (ACC) has completed the necessary search for the information requested. Our company is developing a mobile app where the taxi drivers can download and use it as a booking system in order to get to their passengers, Passengers can do the same using the application. We intend to sell it to the drivers at a very minimal one off product / maintenance cost and no intention of taking any commission. The intention is to help the local community licensed drivers to earn more. Our app does not accept payment, it is still done via taxi drivers at the metered or agreed rate, we merely are connecting drivers and passengers via smart mobile application. We also do not set our pricing, this is still done via licensed meters or taxi operator pricing. This app is only sold to either a council approved and licensed taxi driver (hackney carriage / black cabs etc) or a council approved taxi operator. We would be grateful if you could clarify the below please. 1. Do we need permission from yourselves before we launch the application, if so what documentation or other things is necessary from us for the approval process. 2. Safety being the biggest priority of our company values, Could you also provide us with a list of registered taxi drivers as we only intend to sell this to registered licensed taxi drivers so that we can cross check when somebody is buying from us? 3. Would also be interested in collaboration with us i.e whenever new drivers are given license they can buy them directly from you for further 40% discount. This is to promote more of the local services and access to smart applications. We understand that questions 1 and 3 have been responded to directly by the Licensing Service. Please see attached our response to question 2. We hope this helps with your request.
