That's probably because becoming a taxi driver in places like London is extremely hard (https://www.theknowledgetaxi.co.uk https://www.theknowledgetaxi.co.uk), while becoming a taxi driver in Houston is probably as simple as "do you have a license?"
- wrboyce 7y agoYes, London is the whole UK. EDIT: If it sets a standard then why has that standard not been adopted nationwide? Your argument is dead in the water and I can only assume you’re speaking as a person who has never visited the UK.
- astrodust 7y agoIt sets a standard. The US has no such equivalent.
- maxlybbert 7y agoI lived in a small New Jersey town where getting a taxi medallion involved little more than paying $100 and promising to charge every customer no more than $5 (for in-town trips).
- GordonS 7y agoI'm not in London, or even England. AFAIK, it's relatively straightforward to get a taxi license anywhere in the UK but London.
