"How stupid your got to rate one another I don’t need rating I pass the London knowledge had to learn 25.000 streets and 60.000 points of interested GPS are ok but when the traffic knackered or there’s a accident there crap " Quite true. I have a friend of mine in East London, whose Husband used to be a London Cabbie. He doesn't need GPS devices these days when out driving. I'm "Old School" too, in that, I use maps. My first career was as a Cartographer (before moving into Hotels) and even to this day, can open up a map or road atlas and read them like reading a book. | |||

Not had much time for black cabs in London since that day. If the knowledge means you would leave a woman to stagger about in the street and refuse to help her then bring on the satnav. | |||

You seem to have a very Us Vs Them attitude towards it. Why is that? | |||

"I do hope that the people on here don’t get involved in a accident in a Uber because the idiots don’t know where there going even with a GPS and as a black cab driver I never refuse a job to go anywhere even south London I take you people only use Uber because there cheap if you value your safety at least you a licensed mini cab from a office of a black cab I can’t tell you enough of these drivers I see ever nite how bad there diving is further more people don’t mine spending loads of money on booze and drugs but moan about paying to go home in a real taxi I’ve been driving a taxi 16 years with no complaints about my driving but it’s your choice to use these Uber cars also what really f..... me off these so what drivers refuse to take blind people home because most have guild dogs I never refuse blind people ever full stop the Uber drivers just says it’s against my religion or there got medical problems for which they have to prove to the public Carriage office I see this al the time trust me it happens so just remember when you use this service about the people they won’t pic up remember that!!!!!!!!!!" I can understand your frustration as hitting your trade in London massively but the fact is the are more widely available and accessible. My last two experiences of a black taxi before switching to Uber full time; one left a mate in the middle of nowhere in the small hours of the night because “he didn’t realise how far the journey was taking him away from home; and personally for me a journey that should cost £25 max cost £65 because the driver just sat in traffic, refused to take an alternative route and when I said right we need to find a cash point on the way, we’ll lets say his attitude absolutely stank You are probably not all like that but unfortunately its the reputation that’s been built. I’ve been using taxis in London for 35 years so not a one off statement | |||

"May ask the pick up point and where that job was going to please?" I’m assuming that was aimed at me... picking up onvthe strand and going to the isle of dogs. I specifically walked up to the strand to avoid the river route as could see it was congested, but he turned into the river traffic even though I asked him not too. I was at £40 before I hit Tower Hill | |||

"Tough topic of conversation that the mention of Uber has stirred up here with our West Ham loving black cab driver (Look at my name, I used to be an Arnautovic fan until he left us) Anyway, it seems yes there has been bad publicity around Uber but they also do a lot of good. I feel far more comfortable using them knowing they will turn up where I ordered them and knowing what they pay than playing the black cab lottery that only has one winner. I honestly think Uber could learn a lot from black cab drivers, but I also think black cab drivers can learn from Uber to. I know you’ll slate me for that but it’s 2019, drivers don’t need to know so many thousand roads and points of interest anymore. It’s all online and gps and all that. And it can definitely look at traffic patterns and see if another route is as congested so as to reduce the meter price for the customer! Anyway just my thoughts. I get a feeling they’ll be wrong " | |||

"I don't view uber as an ethical company, so don't use them. If they decimate transport in an area, they can increase prices and pay lower rates to drivers, whilst not contributing to the local infrastructure and taxes, however they wish to. It's a mugs game, allowing £billions of debt to destroy your society, so you will ultimately be milked however they wish to. " your so right | |||

"Anyway it’s your choice safety first of the death run!!!!!!!!!" Ok I have an issue with black cabs in London, from them refusing to take a young woman home because she was unsteady on her feet, through fares climbing through the roof for journeys of around 5 miles. And sorry you may be an excellent driver, but black cabs in general are no less likely to have an accident than other drivers. But a single woman a bit tired and worse for wear has a choice, climb into a vehicle because it is black with an orange light on it. Or have the drivers name, car reg. and journey details logged on the internet. Uber wins on safety. | |||

"Oh and one more thing when u fly the aeroplane and take off fly and land but I still like a pilot on bored of any thing would go wrong would you fly without pilot I don’t thing so " You can actually. Aircraft manufacturers have been able to do it for years and could roll it out but the general consensus is that people wouldn’t use one without a pilot. Some companies have and are looking into single pilot routes as well. The pilot will always be there in my opinion in an emergency but technically when something goes wrong they just flock through a book and work the problem in a certain order to get the place down in one piece, or as little pieces as possible. | |||
