Hourly + as-directed taxi hire dispatch in Leeds — block-hours, fixed driver, transparent meter.

Taxi dispatch system calibrated for hourly hire work in Leeds. TfL and council-licensed PHV ready. Block-hour bookings, as-directed driver, transparent billing.

Hourly (or 'as-directed') hire is the model where a rider books a vehicle for a fixed block of hours and directs the driver to multiple destinations during the block. The dispatch system has to lock the vehicle out of auto-dispatch for the booked window, surface a clear hourly meter to the rider, and bill the actual block consumed plus any overage.

Leeds hourly hire dispatch — the operating reality

Hourly hire fails when the vehicle is auto-dispatched to a passing on-demand trip mid-block. The Aurora console locks the vehicle out of auto-dispatch for the entire booked window; the driver app shows the hourly meter and elapsed block-time so both driver and rider see the same number.
