All Uber lovers there going on strike, bit of luck for the Black Cab as they have taken intense training and know how to get there.

And the future model is that Uber will use autonomous cars that drive themselves 😶 one thing I'd note is that Black Cab drivers with " The Knowledge" are better at avoiding and finding their way around roadworks or temporary hold ups - and seem to communicate them to each other. I've watched an Uber that a colleague summoned circle a one way system 4 or 5 times before realising one of the roads was closed for repairs!

"bit of luck for the Black Cab as they have taken intense training and know how to get there."As with many jobs, technology has overtaken them. Not the same need for the Knowledge these days. Even cabbies use satnavs. Plenty to be said for black cabs but money talks.

i have used Uber and Gett to get home from the high street on a few occasions, uber is generally about £8 and Gett about £10. No idea whether the difference is more significant over longer distances though

I did throw my Gett driver once though as on my app it told me it was his birthday so I gave him my best wishes. he didn't know the app did this!

I've used Gett, but it's so expensive. We have a business account with them too.
it's black cab prices because of course its a black cab not an Uber. Works in exactly the same way though. I use it all the time now rather than Uber.

Interesting Matt, hadn't heard of it. Same prices as Uber? Thanks.

I prefer to use 'Gett', it's the black cab equivalent of Uber.
