The NSW Taxi Council had proposed to the NSW Government last year to utilise these purpose-built Taxis for transporting vulnerable and high-risk passengers. Unfortunately, the NSW Government did not progress with the proposal to use London Taxis.
Amidst the current lockdown in Sydney, there are a number of these Taxis sitting dormant at Sydney Airport ready to be utilised with COVID-safe measures like Sanitisation, Mandatory Masks, COVID-safe toolkit and Social distancing in practice, along with the extra physical barrier of a safety screen.

London Taxis are tailor made for extra safety as they have a physical barrier which helps separate Drivers and Passengers every trip, every time. This provides enhanced protection for Drivers as well as Passengers, along with the current COVID-safe measures in place for Taxis.
London Taxis are offered by GM Cabs, a member network of the NSW Taxi Council.
The NSW Taxi Council will continue to work with the NSW Government as well as other Organisations ensuring availability of 24/7/365 COVID-safe Taxi services in NSW "helping healthy people stay healthy".
