The only reason they're not used here is the silly rules required for taxis which effectively gave LTI a near monopoly for decades. Its the same in new york except there whatever the rules are , they don't seem to take utility into account as anyone who's been squeezed into the reverse tardises they use can attest to. Frankly I'd sooner have an accident in a normal car than the prehistoric bus that LTI churn out and since minicab firms use standard cars quite succesfully theres no argument for them not to be used by black cab drivers.
