Even the majority of black cab drivers feel sorry for the uber drivers, it's only a small minority that moan about them, but they need to realise that the apps are here to stay and get used to the fact that the younger passengers will not pay up for black cabs, don't carry cash and like the fact that their journey is pre priced. Dinosaurs died out because they couldn't evolve and the same will happen to a lot of cabbies if they don't, which is a shame because they offer a great service for London.

The knowledge is a sat nav now I'm afraid. It was needed back in the days of map books but now is totally not needed. I've worked in london for years and know my way around pretty well. Tip is if you want to go east to west or Visa versa get south of the water avoiding the embankment and A501. North to south is get east or far left then dog leg across.

I don"t have an issue with uber drivers, they are just making a living like us all, i do have an issue with the CON servative pm, chancellor and London mayor facilitating their arrivalillegally for a large brown envelope and trying to destroy a 400 year old trade, it"s a race to the bottom and the working masses are going to find out soon enough!

You would expect to pay more for a black cab due to the type of vehicle they drive plus the "knowledge" however they are far too expensive and need to reduce their fares if they want my support. Yeah, well said Badger, to be fair the games finished, a new electric taxi was 67 k, now its 57k, still a lot of wonga for a vehicle you can keep for 10 years max, before buying another new one, a driver pays 5% on every card job, and they are the majority, why should the driver lose 5% on every fare? Technology has caught up with the job, if you want to drive a taxi in London you need to do 12-14 hour shifts, 7 days a week, its a lot of work for not a lot of reward, and a load of paying out! 2 mot per year, insurance, road tax, meter rental, dbs certificate, doctors 5 min medical at £140, aa, licence fee, repairs to taxi, then tax at the end of the year if you show a profit! Better off living off the state and spending zilch!

If the reg nos are monitored on the x 1000s of cameras in london then I'm sure they are checked with the owners and insurance details then plod can pay them a visit. Also if these iranian immigrants crossing the channel are proved to be escaping tyranny and persecution then why would I moan. Would you? If they are proved to be after dough then yes I will moan. Does that answer your loaded question/statement. Tbh it seems this is because khant is labour and it's because labour lost the election and you still cannot get over it. You will have another chance to change that in four years or so. Good luck.
