The London Black Cabs are amongst the most reputable in the world. Stringent tests of City Knowledge, Character, and Background must be completed before the coveted badge is awarded; and only traditional London Taxis (the Black Cabs) are licensed by the Public Carriage Office to ply for hire in London.    Let me add that my experience in a New York City cab assures me they should LEARN A LESSON here, although I am not telling any NYC cabby that. This would be extremely hazardous to my health. (bdebaca flickr)
