91.2% of Radio Taxis drivers will work during the Olympics

Londons best taxi company, Radio Taxis will be working in the Summer of 2012

Amid claims and counter claims about the London taxi industry and further to reports that taxi drivers will not be working during London's 2012 Summer Olympics, Radio Taxis decided to poll its 2,500 strong taxi fleet.

Around 27% of the fleet responded to the (online) survey (a poll of more than 100 is usually sufficient for a meaningful conclusion) and of the 675 drivers who responded 91.2% said they would work and only 8.8% said they would not.

This flies in the face of reports in the media about "grumpy cab drivers" who "won't work because of being excluded from the ORN lanes."

Radio Taxis Chairman and CEO Geoffrey Riesel said, "I am very proud of my drivers.  Radio drivers have always been the most committed in the industry."
