Black cabs are a polluting rip off
Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 2010-06-05 23:17.Little sympathy for the "Taxi Driver Writes" brigade. They lobbied the Newt for permission to put up fares, the Newt relented and now it's tenner from the west end to clerkenwell or more. They've simply priced themselves out of the market. Am sick of their bleating. Also their diesel powered cabs belch mountains of carbon particulates in the surrounding atmosphere resulting in London breaching EU maximum levels of air pollution. Personally I'd like diesel powered vehicles banned from central London completely.
