Khalid Rehyman, who has been driving a black cab in Sheffield for more than 20 years, said the situation was “getting ridiculous”.
“Sometimes we wait 30 minutes waiting to get to our taxi rank,” he said.
“These private taxis are supposed to be just dropping off, but they wait around for customers.
“They cut in. Every day it’s a fight.”
Fellow cabbie Germay Beregakthab said thing had reached “breaking point”.
“We are united this time, we are not paying for the permits,” he said.
“The private hire cars they are picking up too, causing jams. It’s not right.”
