London black taxis plan congestion chaos to block Uber

[Trefor]

Can someone explain to me why this matters? Why can't they use a tool to calculate their fares?

I have not studied the Uber thing yet but will look at it.

The way I succeed in this job is simple.

Look after your customers, local knowledge, carry their bags in, don't moan if it's a short job, have a laugh with them, know when to be quiet, don't put the meter on if they late.

It's all about developing relationships, the other taxi drivers are smoking fags all day, don't clean their car etc - keep doing it while I get lots of repeat business :-)

Apart from some credit work, nearly everyone pays cash

By helping them it's about retaining their business and building up a good small company
