Default Uber shut down in London

In message , at 08:31:44 on Wed, 27
Sep 2017, Neil Williams remarked:
Even without the competition aspect, black cabs say it makes it much
less safe for them to drop off fares at such venues.


Bear with me while I'm in hysterics. Black cabs have never cared about
whether their stopping place was safe or sensible. The disruption they
cause to the bus network by stopping in stupid places is huge.


They are doing that because they want the *passenger* to have a safe
trip from the cab to the kerb. Something that triple-parking outside a
rank of Ubers can't provide.
