Yesterday, I took for the first time a London Cab. They should call it London Crab. The car I got into was recent but technologically spoken, it feels like a car from the seventies. The real name of a London cab is Hackney Carriage, I found out:
Most hackney-carriage operators in the United Kingdom use conventional four-door saloon cars, but in London and several other large cities, specially-designed hackney carriages, manufactured by just one company — LTI are used. These vehicles normally allow up to five passengers in the back, but some are rebuilt and licensed to carry six. Luggage usually goes in the passenger compartment or travels in the front next to the driver — these vehicles have no front passenger-seat. A door has replaced the original open side. All models can also accommodate wheelchairs in the back.
