HOW TO ENRAGE TAXI DRIVERS - USE THE TERM 'PRIVATE HIRE TAXI'

#warrenwatch

It's not fucking London! The hack and PH knowledge tests are exactly the same here!

To clarify the differences here in Liverpool, a hack is a rotten 15 year old TX2 with a Nissan engine conversion that wears a plate that is valued at £20,000 which is rented for either a day or night shift for up to £350 a week which enables the driver to charge people coming home to the Wirral at least £30 for a four mile trip through the Mersey Tunnel and a PH car is usually a nine year old Mondeo rented for £180 a week including insurance and worked on a system like Delta for another £100 a week.

Both drivers are as equally qualified. Sadly, Liverpool hack drivers, especially owner drivers, think that they are a cut above the PH rabble.

The way I've always understood it is that PH are knackered old bangers with poor drivers who try to kill you with bad driving for just twice the reasonable cost of the journey. Hack drivers do the same in less comfy shit heaps for ten times the cost of the PH.

I agree with my Learned Friend , my licence clearly states Private Hire and Hackney Carriage. It’s only in London that there’s any real difference between the two types of licence.
I’ve been doing Mass Testing in places like Newham, Dagenham and Barking and all my prejudices about West Ham supporting middle aged racist Black Cab drivers and useless, dangerous driving , non English speaking Prius abusing Uber drivers, have been proved accurate again and again.

I predict that the whole London Black Taxi thing will rapidly fade away. The pictures of fields of lease and rental cabs sitting idle shows how bad the trade has been affected. There is no real reason for the ridiculous Knowledge test when every driver and passenger has Google Maps/Waze etc. It’s just for tourists, which has been proved by the PH’s still scraping a living in London and the Black Cabs aren’t, now there aren’t any tourists.

On the rare occasions I've had to bail into a black cab, the meter already started at a couple of quid. The fuck is that about.
