Guernsey 'needs more taxi drivers to run adequate service'
BBC Radio Guernsey
Guernsey needs at least 50 more taxi drivers to offer an adequate service across the week and at peak times, according to the head of a group of Guernsey taxi drivers.
Leon Gallienne, from the Taxi Drivers Federation, says unsocial hours and dealing with the occasional difficult customer might be to blame for fewer new drivers coming forward.
He says it's something he's going to try to put right.
