I can not believe how expansive the taxi's are in London?


i paid 拢15.80 for a taxi to my hotel and then i paid 拢20.40 for a taxi from my hotel bck to the train staion.

i would rather get a cab door 2 door than wait with luggage at a bus stop being eyed by potential muggers/pick pockets and travel in safety knowing that i don't have to change and drag cases up and down escalators - oh and i'm guaranteed a seat for the duration of the journey

A couple of years ago I got a taxi from one side of London to the other for 拢11. Not bad IMHO. About as much of a rip off as the tube but less entertaining and a bit safer.

Maybe they went up recently.

Yes, they are rather spacious inside.

Did you expect London to be cheap.

10 minute taxi ride in birmingham = 拢8 = bargain.

ripp off i know, but still a millions times better than the minicabs of death.

I suppose they are quite roomy.

But at least you can watch tv in the back! Cabbie Vision FTW!

cab rides are made to be expensive because they want to get a car and there dollar is different than ours it may be worth it i don't know

And Big Oil has excuses why prices are going even higher.

would that be large interior or cost a lot of money

I've lived in London for 6 years and have never got a taxi, they charge ridiculous amounts and are just traps for tourists

Yes and taxi fares are about to rise again; quite a part from the high salaries that owner taxi drivers seem to deem necessary, the cost of the actual cabs is very high and fuel prices have been rising steadily.

try the buses, alot cheaper and more entertaining

The fare you pay is the taxi drivers wage \ earnings living in London is expensive and the taxi driver needs to make a living.
