Newport taxi drivers

[Fancydan]

What’s the deal with Newport taxi drivers appearing in Cardiff over the past couple of years? Noticed more and more around. I thought taxis had restrictions on trading in different areas?

Also, it’s cheaper / easier to get a taxi badge in Newport. It’s ridiculous, because you can pass the ‘knowledge’ of Newport routes, but then work in Cardiff.

Plenty of Vale of Glsm and Caerphilly taxis around Cardiff aswell

Uber ,its down our local council's as they grant the applications, guess it's a cash cow for them

I had to have my car serviced at Audi in Pontrprennau the other week - I got a Cardiff Dragon cab from there to the office in Newport £12.
On the return I got a Newport dragon cab and the fare was £8.

Work that one out.

Different local authorities have different set charges per mile

Round here dragon taxis are cheap , bridgend based , premier cabs , cardiff based , are expensive
