Default TfL Taxi Consultation to "kill" Uber

"Hello, dodgy-cabs Cambridge Station, can I help you"

"OK, cross the road and you'll find your pre-booked car waiting on the
double yellow lines, look for the driver with his hand in the air".


Modify that a bit and you have a private hire booking office. One of
the local companies operates one out of a portakabin in Central MK on a
Saturday evening, the cars wait in a car park nearby and come over to
the office once you have booked in there. Unlike the black cabs, they
are reputable and charge you the correct fare rather than refusing to
use the meter and ripping you off.
