Its no different to if a minicab firm has its cars driving around waiting for
messages on the radio to go pick up someone nearby.


Which they are allowed to do, and it is a common use-case for minicabs
outside London.


So they just drive around an area waiting for a radio call to pick someone up?
I doubt that. Even if they did , its still a call from a central dispatch
office, not a direct call from a customer which is the crucial difference.
