A BELFAST-based taxi cab may be able to boast of having the biggest fleet of its kind in the UK – after taking delivery of 100 Skoda Superbs.

Believed to be the UK’s biggest Superb fleet, the vehicles are being used by drivers working for Value Cabs.

Value Cabs managing director Chris McCausland said: ‘Initially, we took delivery of 40 Superbs in order to gauge our customers’ reaction to the change.

However, following feedback from our 500 drivers that our customers were thrilled by the new spacious taxis and, in particular, the impressive legroom in the back, we took the plunge and placed the order for the full 100.’
