Traditional Taxi (Black Cab)

The traditional taxi (Black Cab) in the UK is a familiar image, even considered one of many images representing the UK. In recent years, although competition from taxi services via mobile applications such as Uber has affected the operation of traditional taxis, Black Cab still holds an irreplaceable position on the streets of the UK. The black cab has featured in numerous films and TV shows globally and has played an important role in famous movies and shows.

Traditional taxis are quite expensive, with the same distance if traveling by Uber, it will be cheaper. However, observing the streets of London, it is not difficult to see that Black Cab is still very popular, because it is like that of the British Houses of Parliament or the London Bridge. For tourists visiting the UK, the black cab is the first thing that greets them at the airport, and it is usually the last thing they see before leaving this nation.
