Sandy Springs conducts sweep of illegal cab operations

Sandy Springs recently conducted a sweep of illegal taxicab operations at various locations within the city.

Over the course of two days, city code enforcement officers – along with MARTA police – issued multiple citations for violations of the city’s taxicab operations code. Officers targeted cabs and "vehicles for hire" at all three MARTA stations inside the city, as well as popular bars and nightclubs.

Violators face fines and penalties up to $1,000 and several months of probation.
