Oh and before you say the taxi licensing system in London is archaic and in the ark, yes you are right, with respect to Black Cabs you can hail on the street. However, there is a another taxi trade in London, mini cabs, that have been going for years, 10s of thousands of them, all licensed as taxi drivers. All uber has done is replace the individual taxi companies and circuits, and cut the drivers rates.
Uber can be replaced in a heartbeat, they know it and that is why they are crawling on their bellies.
