E-scooters TRAVELLING TO & FROM YOUR HOME Four hundred e-scooters are available to hire in the city centre and surrounding areas. The scheme is a joint initiative run by Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, Liverpool City Council and e-scooter company VOI. Booking taxis Remember when you are ordering a taxi to your home address, make sure your home still looks occupied when you have all left. Leaving on a light or using a timer switch can deter thieves. Please be aware of not disturbing your neighbours by ordering lots of taxis. Cars coming and going throughout the night and sounding Car parking There is limited parking space in residential areas and potentially only room for one vehicle per household. Private halls may have paid parking available. Choose licenced taxis Taxis that are licenced with Liverpool City Council have a plate displayed on the rear or front of the vehicle. By choosing a licenced taxi you can be sure that the vehicle has been inspected and the drivers vetted by Liverpool City Council. When booking a taxi, ask for a Liverpool Licenced driver. Personal safety Personal safety should be top of your agenda at all times and not just when you’re coming home from a night out. If you do walk home alone, try to stick to main roads and avoid poorly lit areas, alleyways, and shortcuts through quiet places. If possible, travel with a friend.
