As far as I am concerned no taxi drivers want to take me home anyway, so
why should I care for their demise? Minicab drivers have always treated me
with far more respect.


IAWTW.

Getting back to South London from town in the middle of the night is
relatively cheap and painless in a minicab. I wouldn't even like to think
about how much it might cost in a Taxi, or how unwelcome my custom would be.


I cannot afford to live in Central London although would love to, so I
have to live in the suburbs and commute in.


The irony is that despite the best efforts of Westminster City Council there
are still a load of people living in Central London for whom it costs almost
nothing, and who don't even have jobs that they need to be there for.


5) The decimation of the suburban taxi trade and growth of the minicab
trade
will mean that the disabled won't be able to get around at all.

This is a fair concern.


They could always use the London Underground - Look out for the wheelchair
symbol on the line maps.

Disabled people obviously only want to go from West Ham to Hammersmith or
Woodford to Stratford anyway...

Ahem.
