So uber launched in Cardiff a month ago and basically haven't got any drivers as no self respecting driver would work for them. So now Cardiff council have aloud them to use drivers from outside of Cardiff e.g Newport, Barry and vale, ponty and Caerphilly. What's the point of drivers like me doing the knowledge test for Cardiff if there going let these drivers work in Cardiff. So uber drivers with no local knowledge of Cardiff.

If Uber is licensed as a private hire operator by Cardiff City Council then Uber can only provide the work to vehicles and drivers licensed by Cardiff City Council. The only other option for Uber would be to sub-contract all the work to an operator licensed within the other areas mentioned in the OP who could pass the work to vehicles and drivers licensed by their district. What you are saying is happening is illegal as all three licences must be granted by the same licensing authority for a journey in a private hire vehicle to be legal.

Not sure that makes sense, I would like to see the original link or quote.

The way Uber works gets around the local area issue, if they have operator licenses in the areas the cars are from.

There is more to this than is in that quote.
