Ken Ord:
I took a black cab from Heathrow to Twickenham yesterday and suffered
the entire trip listening to the driver swearing his head off about
how awful it was for him ...
Martin Underwood:
If the system penalises taxi drivers in some way for doing short journeys,
why *should* he suffer in silence?
Well, where *I* live, this http://mapleleaftaxi.ca/billofrites.gif
would be why. Note the words "courteous" and "silent ride".
I looked for a similar regulation on http://www.tfl.gov.uk/pco/,
though, and didn't find one.
