Uber pay nothing to transport for London, the only money they get is from licenceing the drivers,.

Black cab drivers are the worst on the roads of London. They just stop where they like, do U turns where they like and never accept blame. Bunch of gobby caaants as well.

uber pay millions to TFL to operate, and ultimately TFL want the money.. so the license move is just political move pre election as the black cabbies (mostly legitimate for the vote) are unhappy at business being taken by Uber (mostly not legitimate to vote).

once election out the way the appeal will result in Uber keeping license, probably at a higher cost.

14,000 unlicensed journeys.

Any Tom, Rick or Harry can pretend to be an Uber driver. Awful company.

Piers Morgan always champions the Black Cabs so for that reason alone it's Uber for me. Black Cabs are a rip off!

yesterday i put on my indicators to let them know i wanted to reverse pack into a space... the caaaant driven right up to my bumper, and refused to move. facking caaaant. i did the waaanker sign in the rear view mirror and he started beeping at me. so i put the car in park, in the middle of the street, and went and got a something from the newagent opposite. took my time. he was fuming, which is great. absolute facking caaant. so if you was stuck in a traffic jam round covent garden way at about 5pm last night, i can only apologise
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try not to get involved with traffic incidents these days. Not worth stressing about imo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I find a good shout on my way home from work is a great stress reliever

London black taxi all day over Uber. They do a lot of charity work for kids taking many across to Euro Disney each year at their cost.
You also get a decent level of conversation
