Some of the drivers of black cabs can leave a great deal to be desired, as

Not so much in London as elsewhere, though.

In Milton Keynes, you will get far better service (and a lower price)
from the private hire companies, particularly early mornings and
during the day when some very nice cars (Mercs etc) are in use. I
used to get a leather-seated new Merc saloon on a Monday morning for
the same price as a normal private hire car. Sometimes even got a
V-class minibus to myself.
