In addition, London black cabs have technical advantages. One thing is they can use bus lanes, another is that they have a much tighter turning radius than most cars so they can get out tight spots. I had to laugh at Uber's advertising during the last tube strike... the last thing you want to do during a tube strike is get in a car in central London, especially one by a disadvantageous vehicle drive by someone who does not have deep expert knowledge of the roads. All that said, I'm a cyclist, so fuck taxis :)
