Just for 4 months to distract our attention and then of course will be 5 years for the same old price. IS going to be a game changer for those 113 operators who have more than 100 cars, the threshold should be between 500 and 1000, not 100.

Is good for Uber because many operators will collapse, cant afford to pay £160k

Certainly designed to keep the competition out. 

Those medium sized cab offices, will therefore be restricted to 100 cars, and can only accept so many jobs. 

Bearing in mind that even though though got 100 cars, not all of them will be on the road at the same time - various shifts, drivers on holiday, days off, vehicle problems, etc. 

So possibly may be about 30 to 40 cars out on the road at any one time?

There might be an upturn in the number of the smallest operator licences being applied for one-man band operations, as these companies will turn to these as sub-contractors to pass on any extra work onto, as the booking can then be transferred directly to them, without having to add those with an operating licence as a driver under their own licence.
