I would say that London Black Cab drivers are also unique in the cabbie world. AFAIK they're the only ones who actually have to have that level of knowledge to be a cabbie.

I've never been to London, but i hear the black cab drivers there are very good. But sadly they are in the minority. Most cab drivers I've ever had are sleazy and seem like they are always trying to rip me off.

They are good, and they are losing to technology/uber.

I also agree that many taxi drivers in the world are pretty awful.

Sounds like they need to start modernizing a little bit maybe and be competitive. Maybe if they had some sort of app for the black cabs like uber? But no company can survive in the face of major changes in an industry without government restrictions or copying there successful competition.

I stand corrected about the lengthy training London cab drivers have. One of my friends used to drive for yellow cab and he trained new drivers. There was no rigorous standard and the majority of his trainees didn't speak any English. His experience skewed my opinion of the quality of cabbies
