Don't be too upset. From what I've see when I used to work in the city
you cabbies are still allowed to do illegal u-turns in the middle of
the road, stop suddenly wherever you please and no matter how much
traffic is behind you to pick or drop off a fare and accelerate
through pedestrian crossings if they're flashing amber even if people
are still on them.


While that seems like a rant, taxis stopping in bus lanes are a *real*
problem. I think it's time London got a Singapore-style "taxi stop"
system in place on Red Routes and anywhere else with bus lanes.
