      bbc London must investigate overzealous / bullying and intimidating TfL bus inspectors who penalise people over the most smallest issues thereafter demonise them and get the whole passengers to turn against the supposed fare dodger they need investigating I believe that TfL inspectors are far too rude and aggressive and will involve the police in the smallest of issues over supposed fare dodging their behaviour needs to be investigated undercover via special actors and a long video / conclusion made on the sort of mannerisms displayed by these over authoritarian inspectors who feel that they have such authority to act like bullies when in actual fact they have very little authority as they are not the police plus the police have more serious incidents they need to attend to like knife crime etc etc not poxy little supposed allegations of not paying TfL improves needs to improve the customer service experience by introducing more competent services and educated staff as most of them are useless and the underground has too much aggression on it where is the police then huh ?

Both mini cab and black taxis drivers have to have this tfl license, but black cab drivers also do something called The Knowledge, which is what you're referring to with the whole learning the streets thing. Mini cab drivers however almost exclusively use satnav apps, so them learning topography is indeed a bit pointless (although I reckon it might be useful to do some, as satnavs can take you the long way round, and can't always take you to newer developments that aren't on the system yet).

    All TFL are worried about is how to get more money out of the drivers and not bothered about customers safely. This is a classical example of TFL, all they are doing is taking advantage out the power they have. This also includes the Mayor of London because his the chair person of TFL and it was his idea that this English test would help the safely of Londoners. Now it's more clearly its to help them improve their pockets or career.

    No need for a knowledge test whatsoever. Tfl should allow drivers to learn on the job. As long as they have dbs check that the most important thing.

    People find all kinds of ways to earn a living legal or not. These two license scammers are just a small portion of the overall problem of circumventing red tape to obtain legal documentation, illegally. In our state, authorities set up a fake college that offered documentation for attending the bogus institution, to see who and how many would apply. Every single person that signed up was from India; they all got into trouble as the authorities were behind the whole scam.
