Stephen Anderson has been filming the incidents and seen a dozen successful prosecutions.
A blind man who uses taxis and private hire vehicles to get to work says he and his guide dog have been refused trips by some drivers over 30 times.
Stephen Anderson, 32, who works as an organist at a London church, has been filming the incidents involving him and his dog Barney and sending them to Transport for London .TfL says it acts against minicab drivers who refuse to take guide dogs. Under section 170 of the Equality Act, it is a criminal offence for private hire drivers to refuse access to a guide dog and its owner.Mr Anderson said: "I'm not sure whether I can take another guide dog on in the future simply because I cannot deal with the distress and the sense of shame that comes from people treating me so appallingly.Mr Anderson hopes private hire and taxi companies take action to prevent their drivers from discriminating against blind and partially sighted people.
Angharad Paget-Jones, 29, said she was woken up and asked for "proof" her dog Tudor was a registered guide dog. She claimed that after providing a Guide Dogs ID booklet, security staff accused Tudor of being a "fake" guide dog.
