Not sure how true this is but a passenger I picked up this week tells me that a mate of his is a taxi driver in London and can take £600 for 5 hours work.
My passenger tells me he got a taxi from North London to South London and it costs him just short of £50 and their meters start on £4.50p
It seems a lot of money and to earn £600 in 5 hours equates to £120 per hour.
London fares may be more expensive than ours but there again ethers a lot of ground to cover as London is a large place but if we were to start our meters on £4.50p I think there would be a public outcry up here.
