Impolite taxi drivers 'damaging' economy

The body which regulates taxis in the Island says it's concerned some drivers are pressing negative views about here on their passengers.

The Road Transport Licensing Commitee oversees standards for public passenger vehicles, or PPVs  - such as taxis and buses - as well as heavy goods vehicles.

Its annual report laid before Tynwald last month, raises a raft of concerns - from vehicle safety issues to customer care.

The commiittee says it's also seeing applicants unable to read, speak or understand English.

And there's concern too, over those who speak the language well - but are giving visitors a negative impression of the Island.

The RTLC's chairman is Brendan O'Friel.

He says examples of that, would be 'people  being quite rude and negative about the Island when they're bringing in either visitors or business people coming to do business in the Island. Now this is entirely unacceptable and it's completely against what the government's trying to do, which is to build the economy. And there's evidence that some of this negative behaviour may have resulted in people not coming back to the Island or in not pursuing a business interest here. That's very troubling.'
