Let’s give a well-deserved shout out to the Southampton City Council Corporate Colour White Hackney Carriage Taxis.

There have been some unfortunate and unfounded comments recently about our city’s taxi trade. I want to reassure both locals and visitors that our white taxis continue to provide a reliable, professional, and friendly service — especially from the cruise terminals, which are some of the busiest in the country.

Southampton's licensed taxis play a vital role in the city's transport infrastructure, and their contribution should not be underestimated.
