Fecking Black Cab Drivers


Uber has now said they can go on there app.

But as its getting the customer low fares
the London Black Cabs will not make as much - so may not do it.

Sour Grapes from the Licensed Bandits..........Ha Ha

[HD]

Good, black cabs are robbing bastards

[lily.]

They've had it too good for too long. They can't have the monopoly on cabs in London... they just have to accept that.

[Kizzy]

Why isn't anyone else allowed to use a meter?

[Brother Leon]

Its a Legal registered thing

Why are black cabs the only ones allowed to use this tech legally though?

[Me. I Am Salman]

idgi, is it just a price comparison thing?

[Ramsay]

idgi, is it just a price comparison thing?

Yeah it's cheaper i think. there's something like that over here called Hailo IIRC

Taxi Strike
now on in London
causing delays.



A Fat Taxi Driver
just said its going through the courts
level playing field - they keep shouting

Well

Good on Uber or over priced taxi's

[Livia]

I'll continue to use black cabs. The drivers are licenced, I'm not sure how this Uber thing works with licencing their drivers. If it's anything like minicabs, you take your life in your hands. I feel safe in a black cab, and also, they do The Knowledge so they always know where they're going. I imagine Uber will rely on satnavs.

[Iceman]

I use Halo over here. So much heaper and you can see the taxi guy beforehand and look at their ratings....ita excellent

[Crimson Dynamo]

Any woman who uses a minicab is mad in my opinion, indeed any bloke is too. You have no idea if the car has tax, insurance, brakes, legal tyres

Getting cabs is not just about price

You can also see a black cab coming in real life with its light on and you dont need to stare at a phone neither

[Livia]

Shame you can't see his insurance and licence... you know where you are with a black cab, they're reliable and safe. I can see why they're angry.

[Iceman]

Well the halo app here has their taxi license and a picture of the guy...its priven to be a lot safer
