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?

Isn't Gett (formerly Gettaxi I think) exactly that?


That and Hailo, yes (though when Hailo added private hire as an option,
it earnt itself a great deal of loathing from cabbies).

Kabbee meanwhile is an umbrella app for minicab firms that chose to join
- a bit of a push back against Uber from the established minicab
industry. That said, a fair number of minicab firms have their own apps.
