Anecdotal evidence, but I can confirm black cabs are pretty rubbish and extremely expensive in London. Broken card machines ("broken"?) are a thing. Friends complain similarly. Uber experiences all good so far. Not an Uber lover here, just astounded by people reporting that black cabs offer a decent service. I really like the design of black cabs, but since those bad experiences I have avoided them completely.
