“Bogus” cabs driving unsuspecting passengers, taxi driver warnsUnlicensed taxis and banned cabbies are operating after dark in Dundee, it has been claimed.
Graeme Stephen, chairman of the Dundee Taxi Association, said that he has had numerous reports of suspended taxi drivers continuing to work throughout their ban.
Meanwhile, a taxi driver with over 30 years of experience in the city claimed the industry is “getting worse”, with some drivers allegedly lending their badges to unlicensed family members, who then drive unsuspecting passengers.
The man, who spoke to the Courier on the condition of anonymity, also voiced fears about an unknown male with a “fake” taxi plate picking up punters in the city centre on Friday and Saturday nights.
A Dundee City Council spokesman said: “We are not aware of the complaints but if the individual would like to contact the council we will fully investigate.”
