Uber’s website describes the service as “the on-demand alternative to Torquay taxis,” adding: “From early mornings to late nights and everything in between, you can book a trip with UberX. Request a trip to Torbay Hospital Main Entrance and elsewhere at a moment’s notice to connect with a driver near you.”
