A great time was had by all at the taxi driver dinner last night, hosted by the VTA.

It was a balmy Spring night as over 60 drivers dropped by the VTA offices in Port Melbourne and the enjoyed the Thai cuisine supplied by the White Guy Cooks Thai food truck.

The VTA put on the dinner for drivers to celebrate the end of the year before things ramp up for the festive season.

This event followed a successful lunch for day drivers in October.

Both events provided opportunities for drivers to socialise with one another and talk to VTA staff about various issues, particularly the Knowledge test, ride sharing apps and upcoming events.

The VTA holds driver events throughout the year as a way to acknowledge the hard work taxi drivers do - most often without much thanks.

The VTA is planning a number of events throughout 2015, so keep an ear out and get involved.
