Sheffield’s operator City Taxis and its private hire drivers have invested £200,000 in partition screens which support and compliment new government guidelines.


The £200,000 fleet investment has been jointly funded by City and their self-employed drivers in an attempt to provide a safe option for their community to move around.

The new screens installed compliment the firm’s Hackney Carriages and Euro 6 vehicles which have the partitions built in.


Following the new measures announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson earlier this week, City Taxis are urging customers to always carry and use a face covering whilst travelling. There is also a warning that bookings may be busier around 10pm due to the curfew put in place.

A spokesperson from Sheffield’s City Taxis added via their website: “We have all been hugely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19, and as the government have suggested these special measures could potentially last for at least another 6 months. However the restrictions enforced can be managed to make sure we can still move you safely and responsibly, we are here to support our passengers, businesses and drivers to get through these unprecedented times. We ask you to co-operate with the new guidance rules and keep yourselves safe when travelling.

“Let’s come together and help keep people in work, keep shops and schools open and keep our operating areas moving forward. Maintain our community spirit – togetherness, stay safe, be responsible and don’t forget your face covering or protective mask when planning your journey.”
