PHV demographic stats - help with finding a report

Request ID: FOI-2001-2324
Date published: 13 September 2023

You asked
Dear Sir or Madam, I am trying to retrieve information that has been conveyed in several scholarly articles concerning the ethnicity breakdown of PHV drivers. These studies have been listing a website connected to TFL's domain as a source: http://content.tfl.gov.uk/taxi-and-phv-demographic-stats.pdf However, I get an error message when trying to navigate to that address. The file does not seem to be available on Google and my attempts to find this information on TFL's website were also unsuccessful. Could you please help me with retrieving this report and/or any subsequent reports or studies that might have been made more recently?
