It's fine because I didn't think said link was available. There is an amendment to the principal regs changing a date in them from Jan 2022 to 31 March 2022, possibly when the regs expire?

Good for you. Have a fantastic day. Don't forget to mask up in public transport. It's the law don't you know and do not question why.

What's that got to do with raising a question as to why some consultation had not been raised with the taxi/private hire trade before the regulations passed Tynwald? Nothing I feel. 😷😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely have asked the question to ??? but no answer given. This is precisely the reason why I raised my concerns regarding the lack of consultation. I hope you understand that. Many on here seem incapable of grasping that simple point. Edited December 14, 2021 by Bazza Smurf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How important, considering the bigger picture, is your grumble? I do what is required. I merely raised a point that the mandating (lawful regulation of masks) should have been more widely promoted so passengers knew about it and drivers also knew about it and even more important what the regulations were. Why is that difficult for you to understand? Is it because you have jumped in and not read the posts so far? I have answered your question. I have been asked the same question on this same thread a few times now. I sincerely apologise if I sound a bit wound up, but I have answered the question before.

And I don't need a law to tell me that, why do you? Read back through the previous posts. I have answered this question before. I am not answering it again. The clue is in the lack of consultation with the 300+ drivers and the lack of information and clarity for the several hundreds of passengers who knew NOTHING about these regulations and many still do not. I could add much more but I have added much to this topic in here over the last 24 hours. I have not got time now. Please agree or disagree with me. That's fine ether way. Understand though that you should read all of what I have posted on here first to save us both time. If nitpicking is what we are doing, that's a different story. At least be upfront with me.

I agree, you should have done more to promote the requirement to your customers. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I advise every customer getting in, most of which are not wearing masks. I rang Manx Radio and tried to bring the topic to the attention of the public. I emailed the RTLC and asked them to send out an advisory to the trade and make a public announcement. The trade itself has worked with Douglas Corporation to ensure masks are being handed out this weekend at Victoria Street Rank. . Apologies it's not enough. I'll try harder. 🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
