    Just want to say what a superb channel and brilliant how you put your map on screen. Was a cabbie for 15 years (bdge no 63570) and left the trade in 2017 when we moved away. Miss the buzz but your channel brings it all back ( altho defo quite a few road direction changes since i did it) - luv your work 👏👏👏

    • @ALondonCabbie
      @ALondonCabbie  7 місяців тому +1

      Neil thank you so much. Your support is really appreciated. I’m glad you like the idea of the map on the screen. It’s something only us cabbies see (even when we’re asleep) and members of the public don’t get to see. Since 2017 the road changes have been pretty drastic, you’d definitely feel like a butter boy again if you got back in the seat now 😅 thanks again for your comment, be lucky 🍀

    Great vid mate i have two questions
    1) What do you think of renting taxis if you have the license? Is it a good idea? Espeically if your a seasonal taxi driver like you only do ceartin times of the year. I think the rent includes insurance and the meter but theirs prob other costs i am not aware of
    2) If you don't have the traditional taxi like say you have the merc van or that electric nissan does that mean your less likely to get customers.

    • @ALondonCabbie
      @ALondonCabbie  4 місяці тому

      Thanks for your kind comments. I actually rent a Taxi myself. The rent covers every cost, except fuel. These costs compared to monthly purchase are similar (obviously at the end of any loan period you’d own the Taxi yourself if your bought it) however the current LEVC TXE has so many things that could go wrong (and are extremely costly) I personally prefer to rent. In regards to work, all Taxis will experience the same volume of work from the street/taxi ranks however electric vehicles/plug in hybrid get a much greater priority on the majority of app work.

      Sadly that’s what they are, Eaton Sq, Notting Hill Gate are 2 other 3am collection spots. Never see them on the A12/A13 when theres racing every night. TFL are really strict on that, although I bet you could currently drive a TFL licensed Bus with no problems
