Key reasons cited by drivers for keeping the split tariffs included feedback from passengers that prices are currently fair, the north and south areas of the district having different customers and needs, and the current climate not being the correct time to make changes to fares.
Cabbies also raised concerns that it could cause financial hardship and cause people to leave the industry - particularly when the Covid-19 pandemic had already disrupted business so much.
Hackney Carriage cabs are those which can queue on taxi ranks or be hailed from the roadside - the tariffs do not apply to private hire cabs.

A woman has spoken of her frustration at being caught in standstill traffic on her way to hospital as taxi drivers block roads in Bristol city centre.
Bradford City Hall. COUNCILLORS have claimed Bradford’s taxi industry have been ignored when drawing up the District’s Clean Air Zone proposals.
Bradford Council will introduce a Clean Air Zone in January - meaning the most polluting vehicles will be charged to enter the city centre and areas of Shipley. Although private cars will be exempt, HGVs, vans and taxis will all have to meet certain emission standards if they want to avoid paying a daily charge (up to £50 per day for HGVs and £12.50 per day for taxis). At a meeting of the Council’s Regulatory and Appeals Committee on Thursday Councillors and officers got into a heated and at times fiery discussion about how much taxi drivers had been consulted on the plans.
