Sorry, who likes? Taxis have drivers. Taxi drivers respond to
passenger directions.

Not if it were illegal to do so and enforced.

The answer to Oxford St is to have taxi ranks and taxi drop-off points
in lay-bys and for the rest to be a strictly enforced "Red Route"
Clearway.

Taxis and minicabs are allowed to stop on red routes. There is a thick
version of red line which they can't stop on, although IMO that should not
have been invented because zigzags also do the trick and are humanly
possible to see in the rain, unlike the thick red line. This would however
leave minicabs with nowhere to stop at all, because they can't stop on taxi
ranks. It would also make it impossible for taxis to set down in January,
when every rank would be permanently full of taxis.
