Automated queuing system for taxis planned for Cobh
The county council has drawn up the plans in Cobh after being approached by the National Transport Authority about the current system for taxi operations in the town, which did not suit taxi drivers, or the Port of Cork, which was concerned about the traffic situation when cruise liners were disembarking passengers.
Peter O’Donoghue, a senior engineer in the council’s roads department, said discussions had also been held with the Taxi Regulator and local gardaí before the plans were finalised, which he outlined to councillors at a meeting in Cobh.
