Taxis are a particular interest, as SRA have long insisted that this is a neglected mode of transport and have constantly challenged the perception that they are mainly used only by the well-off. The reverse is actually true. Research has shown considerable unmet potential for this mode of transport both as a main method of travel and as part of mixed mode journeys.

SRA have organised a number of seminars on this subject including the first national conference to highlight taxis as part of public transport.

Kris Beuret has also acted as expert advisor to the House of Commons Transport Committee in their investigation of Hackney Carriages and Private Hire and appeared as an expert Witness on behalf of Local Authorities in Court Appeals against the Councils’ policies to introduce accessible hackney carriage vehicles.
