TaxiPoint July 2025 magazine marks 75th issue milestone and includes a deep dive into the cross border and autonomous landscape
The July 2025 edition of TaxiPoint is now out, marking the 75th issue of the magazine. As ever, the latest release provides a wide-ranging update on the key stories affecting the UK taxi and private hire vehicle (PHV) sector.
A central focus this month is the Government’s green light for autonomous vehicle trials. Uber and Wayve are set to launch self-driving taxi services in London, sparking fresh debate over the long-term role of human drivers, licensing gaps, and public trust in AI-driven transport.
Other key topics include the ongoing push to close the cross-border licensing loophole, the introduction of inclusive transport measures by Bolt, and calls from the taxi trade for a national minimum fare. Industry insights range from a closer look at the drop in driver numbers in Wiltshire to the launch of a new Heathrow taxi rank management app.
The edition also highlights TaxiPoint’s launch of a new premium news service, with a free trial running until April 2026. The move aims to maintain the sustainability of the publication in a complex and changing digital environment.
There’s also coverage of major enforcement operations across Liverpool, Glastonbury and Newcastle-under-Lyme, showing councils’ growing focus on compliance and safety. Meanwhile, in the business section, LEVC’s TX electric taxi is highlighted as a major contributor to UK export success.
To close, the magazine includes a mix of regional updates, new technology trials and policy discussions, continuing its role as a central hub for those working across the sector.
