Tackling mini cab mayhem

From tonight there will be a new marshaled taxi rank outside 333 nightclub to make sure people can get home safely after a night out and to try and stop mini cabs and their customers upsetting local residents trying to get to sleep.

The rank will be marshaled between 10pm and 3am on Fiday and Saturday nights.

This is a joint initiative set up by Hackney Council, Transport for London and the police as part of the Safer Travel at Night campaign.

Remember the cabwise scheme can also find you a cab at night. Text CAB to 60835 and TFL will use GPS to text your two nearest minicab numbers and one taxi (black cab) number.
