The 'Wolverhampton Problem' that is still concerning Greater Manchester taxi drivers
It’s an issue that the new government said it would sort out - but private hire taxis licensed in other parts of the country are still plying their trade in Greater Manchester.
Local cabbies have taken issue with the private hire drivers taking their business, particularly in Manchester city centre, when they are licensed elsewhere. The private hire drivers, who work for pre-book only companies like Uber, say themselves the checks are quicker, easier and cheaper to get through.
