Andy Burnham speaks out after figures show a third of the region's taxis are registered 80 miles away.
Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham is urging locals not to use taxis licensed by a council in the West Midlands.
It prompted calls by Transport for Greater Manchester for a change in the law because local councils "can not guarantee a high standard" from drivers registered elsewhere.for drivers but current legislation allows private hire drivers outside London to operate anywhere in England and Wales. "The checks they do aren't as stringent and it is not right. They are undermining public safety in Greater Manchester."
"Public safety is of paramount importance to us," they said. "Partnership working with our Licensing colleagues and other agencies shows our commitment to upholding our responsibilities; we expect drivers and vehicles licensed by us to always maintain the highest standards."
