    I drove a minicab in London in 80s for 16 years. Unlike today no gps / sat navs or even a pco disc etc.
    After 5 years i knew London inside out. I respect black cab drivers and the knowledge they have to do but i am just glad i am out of the game completely.
    The good days have gone!

    Lots of angry,and disrespectful comments against London cabbies.Why , they are probably the only thing in this country that are the best in the world.. Traditional and worth maintaining.. Maybe the negative comments are from people who failed the knowledge...

    That’s crazy. I didn’t notice the switch but as the narrator was talking over the 2 of them standing by the map I thought “who does this voice belong to?” “Must be the guy in black but it doesn’t look like his voice.”

    He can navigate all of London from his mind, yet he can't tell two men apart from each other if they're wearing the same clothing. hilarious

      So does Uber, black cabs are more expensive because your paying for their knowledge that they spent years learning

  • @jimmyju4350
    @jimmyju4350 5 років тому +3

    Black cabs definitely are brilliant. It’s a shame that such a fantastic taxi service is accommodating the stupid London people who are sheep following each other. I wish we had black cabs in New York and if we did it would honestly be the best thing for us And Uber wouldn’t stand a chance here.

    Taxi drivers may very well be the best across the whole of london, but us local delivery riders will beat any taxi hands down on our patch.

      So what's you make a U-turn, take a different road and Waze will redirect you. Problem sorted.

      I do not think you are smart enough to see the contradiction in what you are saying.

    • @TheWeepingDalek

      why. they make more money from getting more passengers. that's why they often don't take longer routes out to near the m25 unless prebooked. they want to get you out as quick as possible to get the next guy in. the meter even goes up while in traffic jams. yet they are the ones swearing the most about traffic.
