Pay twice as much to be in a black cab? Defeating whole reason of using Uber.. luckily we have choices, thanks UberX.
Actually it follows the same fare rate as the taxis themselves, plus 5% extra to Uber for the convenience of the service. Fare info: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/modes/taxis-and-minicabs/taxi-fares?ci...

As a non Uber customer, why would I use this over Hailo? And why would Uber customers opt for a more expensive taxi when the same application has a cheaper option? When I use black cabs here in London, I'd much rather use an established and local product from a company with less questionable ethics. That's Hailo.

What!? Hailo now does private cab hire firm booking, which led to lots of Black cab drivers removing support for it

Good timing, because in about 1 hour from now, at 14:00 BST / 13:00 UTC (as if there were such a thing as British Summer), the London Black Cabs will stage a protest that will gridlock London. Not that anyone stuck in London traffic will be able to tell the difference. Article from the Beeb: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27783218 edit: DST is hard
