Safer Taxis for the Pandemic

AN EXTRA LAYER OF PROTECTION EVERY TIME, EVERY TRIP WITH LONDON TAXIS IN SYDNEY

The NSW Government is being urged to provide an additional layer of defence against the risk of COVID-19 at Sydney Airport with London Taxis, tailor made to provide enhanced protection to drivers and passengers.

The NSW Taxi Council had proposed to the NSW Government last year to utilise these purpose-built Taxis for transporting vulnerable and high-risk passengers. Unfortunately, the NSW Government did not progress with the proposal to use London Taxis at the time.

Amidst the recent lockdown in Sydney, there are a number of these Taxis sitting dormant at Sydney Airport ready to be utilised with COVID-safe measures like sanitisation, mandatory masks, COVID-safe toolkits and social distancing in practice, along with the extra physical barrier of a safety screen.

London Taxis are tailor made for extra safety as they have a physical barrier which helps separate drivers and passengers every trip, every time. This provides enhanced protection for drivers as well as passengers, along with the current COVID-safe measures in place for Taxis.

London Taxis are offered by GM Cabs, a member network of the NSW Taxi Council.
​
The NSW Taxi Council will continue to work with the NSW Government as well as other organisations ensuring availability every day COVID-safe Taxi services 24/7 in NSW “helping healthy people stay healthy”.
