I cannot remember off hand the exact wording but, legally they are correct.
You cannot pick up on the same street or in view of a rank, unless pre booked but, if your on the rank you can legally take the punters as its there prerogative what cab they choose
Any idea where this comes from Skippy. Council are also trying to herd the public a hundred metres or so to a rank, but public are ignoring signs and flagging down taxis at normal location. Causing a lot of confusion. This weekend taxis just went back to old rank to save the aggro.

The driver of a taxi, while he is in charge of the taxi, shall not canvas or importune in any public place or street for employment.
Unless the licensing authority makes specific arrangements for particular stances, the driver of a taxi shall take up his station on the stance in order of arrival and at such distance from the vehicle in front to ensure that persons walking may conveniently pass between them, and when a taxi is driven off a stance, the driver of the taxi immediately behind shall draw up his vehicle to take the place vacated and the taxi drivers on the stance behind shall draw up their vehicles in a like manner. A taxi driver will not cause or permit his taxi to wait on a taxi stance if the stance already contains the maximum number of taxis permitted on that stance.
