THE largest taxi company in the world has issued a warning to its drivers to not use Hackney taxi ranks in Barnsley.
Drivers for Uber have warned their drivers they may face action by Barnsley Council if they use the ranks.
A statement from Uber said: “It is illegal to stop and wait at taxi ranks at any times, including for pick-ups or drop-offs, unless you have a Hackney Carriage licence.
“If you use a taxi rank without a Hackney Carriage licence, you may face licensing action by Barnsley Council.”
