DRIVE NOW August 2022

FAREWELL
FRANK HART
1933 - 2022
Long-time Martin Meters CEO and major Australian Taxi
Industry supporter passed away peacefully last month,
aged 89.
Frank managed Martin Meters back when they were
still producing mechanical meters in the 1960s and 70s
through to his retirement around 2010.
In 1966 TAXI TALK magazine was started by Trade
Promotions and Frank Hart was the very first
advertiser for his business Safety Screens (Aust).
Although the magazine re-branded in the last
decade to DRIVE NOW, it never changed owners
and it is still being produced and distributed to
those in the Taxi and Hire Car industry, and Frank
continued to support us.
His innovations resulted in more income for drivers
through better, more accurate, less expensive and much
more reliable taximeters. He was also a strong and
passionate advocate for driver safety and proper driver
remuneration.
Frank was a fierce Hawthorn supporter, and here he is
standing very proud holding the 2013 and 2014 Back to
Back Grand Final Cups.
Frank became great mates with our founder, Stan
White, and he stuck with us through thick and thin,
with no regrets. It was our honour to have known
Frank, to have worked with him and shared many a
joke too.
He was a stalwart of this industry and will be missed
by all who knew him. Farewell, my friend. Rest in
Peace. ~ Ed.
