🚖💥 WHAT A WEEKEND FOR KEN CARS! 💥🚖

It’s been one hell of a shift for the Ken Cars team this weekend, racking up no less than 34 airport runs across the Central Belt! ✈️🚕 From early morning pick-ups to late night drop-offs — the wheels barely stopped turning!

Friday kicked off in style with another fantastic day supporting our good friends over at . Massive thanks once again to Scott Bisset for the continued trust in our team to deliver for his lads — always a pleasure to keep the scaffolders on the move 👷‍♂️🔧.

Saturday started with the gloves on 🥊 as we teamed up with Danny Scullion and the South Coast Boxing Club, making sure the fighters, coaches and supporters were safely transported from hotels, to Celtic Park, back to hotels, and onwards to the airport for their return journeys. Smooth logistics for a top-class group of boxers — job done ✅👏.

The weekend didn’t stop there — Saturday afternoon and night saw us proudly assisting with transportation for the annual MacMillan Cancer Charity Event. Always an honour to play a small part in supporting such an incredible cause 💚🎗️. Fantastic night, fantastic people, fantastic cause.

✅ 34 airport runs
✅ Boxing clubs moved
✅ Charity events supported
✅ Hundreds of happy passengers

Well that’s a wrap for the weekend! 🎉
Ollie, Zak, and the other 7 legends of the Letdown Crew are now safely dropped back at Glasgow Airport ✈️ after a wild one for Richard’s Stag! 🍻

Plenty of laughs, scenic roads, and the odd “where the hell are we?” moment… just a shame the Scottish weather didn’t get the memo. ☔️

Two drivers on the job meant no stops, no delays — just a smooth run home after the madness. 🚌🚌

Thanks for the banter lads – top crowd and always welcome back (preferably with better weather next time) 🌧➡️🌤

🚨 Taxi Industry in Crisis – Time for East Dunbartonshire Council to Listen 🚨
As a proud local taxi operator running 47 licensed vehicles, I feel compelled to speak out about the shocking state of taxi licensing in East Dunbartonshire. What we’re experiencing now is unfair, unsustainable, and completely out of touch with reality.
💰 A simple change of vehicle or plate — once £69.22 — was hiked to £100 and is now £200. That’s nearly a 200% increase in just a short space of time. And incredibly, the Council’s own website still shows the original fee, meaning there’s no official notice, no explanation — just a quiet and damaging price hike.
🚖 To make matters worse, the recent 3% fare increase only applies to Hackney Black Cabs. Private hire operators like myself — who represent the vast majority of the fleet — are left to swallow every cost increase with no way to adjust pricing, even as insurance, fuel, and running costs soar.
👎 And it’s not just fees. The licensing staff have been slashed, and now we’re given a 1-hour window at 1 PM to collect documents — and only if you’ve pre-booked a slot. It feels like the licensing system has gone back 30 years, while the prices have raced forward 30 years.
📨 I’ve written multiple times to the Council’s customer care department — but yet again, no reply. It’s clear that emails fall on deaf ears, and the people running the system aren’t interested in dialogue. It feels less like a public service, and more like a cash grab.
Do they care? It doesn’t seem like it.
🔁 We urgently need:
✔️ Transparency in fee structures
✔️ Open consultation with taxi drivers and operators
✔️ A fair, inclusive licensing system that supports local transport providers
🚫 This is no longer just poor policy – it’s exploitation.
💬 East Dunbartonshire Council: You should be supporting local drivers, not driving them out.
Shame on you, EDC.
