Measures to reduce touting introduced Edinburgh Airport

237

New measures to crackdown on taxi touting in the drop-off zone at Edinburgh Airport have been introduced. Cameras that track vehicle use and flow have been installed to identify those taxi and private hire vehicles that are illegally picking up passengers in the wrong area. It comes after an increase in touting, tailgating through the exit barriers and congestion. Signage to make users aware of the new measures has been installed and any vehicles that pick-up passengers in the drop off zone will receive a parking charge notice of £100. A private company will manage this for the airport.
