This really goes to show really how much London contrasts New York in this area. London taxi cab drivers have always been very nice on average and try to take pride in taking care of their cabs. Plus they have regularly updated the vehicles to stay with both internal design and emission standards. Thankfully, as well, it looks like half if not more than half of London cabs are electric (with the new top down rebuilt electric model that came out a few short years ago) now and are even more comfortable than they were before, which was already pretty good as you could have plenty of headspace, as well as even having the option to sit backwards to face your friends within the passenger space. Plus it’s been a rule that London taxicabs be wheelchair accessible for many many decades now, so it’s not just their iconic look that makes them so distinctive in the world, but also their efficiency and technological acceptance. Comfortable ride, good customer experience, and no more emissions, London taxi cabs for the win.

Yeah, I’ve never been to America myself, but I’ve never heard anything overly positive about New York cabdrivers in terms of the customer service. Sure, I’m sure they are experts at making their way around the cities, including the outer areas, but nothing brilliant in terms of how they treat their passengers. In the city of London, it is very different. You won’t always get very chatty cabs, but many will just be very quiet, but the vast majority are very kind, like to chat, but know when to stop and will sometimes even just go around and give people private tours of the city and the prices are honestly quite fair by comparison to those in America. Uber is a threat here as well, but in London, many have learned to just live side-by-side.
