The London Cab Order 1987
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 a new paragraph 40 (scale of fares for motor cabs)—see article 3. 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 21st June 1987 to 20th August 1987 after which all taximeters must be capable of automatically recording and displaying the increased fare. In addition, the extra charge in relation to hirings over the Christmas period is extended to end at 6am on 27th December (instead of 6am on 26th December)—see article 4.
