So, anyway, the question part - I use SpeedTaxi's app to get properly
licensed cabs from a company I trust with the convenience of Uber. Is
there a reason black-cab drivers in London couldn't come up with the same
thing? The convenience of Uber, but the reassurance you'd be getting a
'real' cab?

But at 25p/KM?

Part of the problem is that people feel black cabs are bad value, which
if you use the TfL fare scale says that for a journey of 1 mile the
costs are roughly £4.50 per KM
