Variation of other location surcharges
Subregulation 1
Subject to sub‑paragraph (3), where a location surcharge specified in paragraph 18 is charged by a street‑hail industry participant providing a street‑hail service in respect of any location surcharge destination specified in paragraph 18, that street‑hail industry participant may vary —
the amount of the location surcharge specified in paragraph 18(2), (3), (4), (5), (6) or (8) by substituting another amount for that street‑hail service; or
the period specified in paragraph 18(1)(b), (2), (3), (4), (5) or (8), by substituting another period for that street‑hail service,if the owner of the location surcharge destination affected by the variation consents to the variation.
Subregulation 2
Subject to sub‑paragraph (3), a street‑hail industry participant providing a street‑hail service may charge a location surcharge for every journey by taxi using its street‑hail service, the hiring of which begins or ends (but not both) at a public place not specified in paragraph 18, if the owner of the public place consents to —
the public place being a location surcharge destination for the street‑hail service; and
the terms of the location surcharge in respect of the street‑hail service.
Subregulation 3
Any —
variation in relation to a location surcharge destination as described in sub‑paragraph (1); and
location surcharge to be charged for a public place under sub‑paragraph (2),must not be different from the terms of the location surcharge charged by other street‑hail industry participants for journeys by taxi (whether standard taxi or premium taxi), the hiring of which begins or ends (but not both) at that same location surcharge destination or public place, as the case may be.
Subregulation 4
To avoid doubt, the consent of an owner of a location surcharge destination is not required before a street‑hail industry participant providing a street‑hail service stops charging a location surcharge in respect of that location surcharge destination.
