The London Cab Order 1985
This Order increases the fares payable for the hiring of a motor cab in the Metropolitan Police District and the City of London in respect of all journeys beginning and ending there. This is achieved by substituting, with amendments, a new paragraph 35 (approved taximeter to be fitted and sealed)—see paragraph 3—and a new paragraph 40 (scale of fares for motor cabs)—see paragraph 4. The Schedule to the Order provides a conversion table setting out the new fares for cabs with taximeters which are not capable of recording those fares automatically. The table is required to be kept prominently displayed in the cab and may only be used during the transitional period from 14th July 1985 to 13th September 1985 after which all taximeters must be capable of automatically recording and displaying the increased fare.
