Nick Ferrari complained about the fact that a person claimed access to work and was given £130,000 over two years for taxi fares. Now at first glance this might seem like a lot, but I'm gonna give you a possible scenario based on personal experience. When I went to uni between 2012 and 2015, I went to the one that was closest to my house (15.3 miles according to Google as I've just checked) I had to go in specially adapted transport that could carry my wheelchair in the back. The cost of this was £90 return per day. Given that the company I went with was the cheapest in the area and that inflation has increased prices significantly in the intervening 11 years, I don't think a figure that comes out roughly £1000 per week is completely unreasonable, depending on things like distance travelled and needs of the passenger. Of course if they don't need specially adapted transport, the costs could be considerably lower, but without specific details on the case, it's difficult to be 100% certain. But of course Nick Ferrari went straight for "they must be travelling in a Bentley". A completely and utterly absurd proposition designed to make people angry.
