Taxi hit and run leaves man in critical condition

I think GoCard should be extended to taxis. I think cubic already has hand readers. There could be a trial.
Pick ups during late fri/sat nights especially.

Would cut violence and people who do runners on cabs without paying.

Good idea.   Hopefully these sort of things will eventually happen, although the progress at the moment is not real impressive.

For this to be of any use all Go cards would need to be registered and there would need to be proof that the registration details were accurate.

As it is now, even if someone chooses to register their Go Card they can provide false information.

Er. I was thinking along the lines of making cabs cash free.
No cash = nothing to steal. And if you have no money, then it will beep and go red at the start.

Oh I see.

But how many taxi attacks are motivated stealing? I don't think it is many. Mostly it is just drunken yobbos looking for someone to bash.
