TIPS FOR USING BLACK CABS
Tips for using black cabsDo s
Hold your hand up high or preferable wave a news paper or umbrella.
Stand on a busy well lit road.
If you are having trouble finding a cab try going to a restaurant or theatre where people will be likely to be getting out of cabs.
If possible stand on the correct side of the road for the direction you will be travelling.
All of London’s top restaurant and hotels will hail a cab for you.
Have money available for the fare as getting the cab driver to stop at a cash point will increase the cost of the journey.
If you want to go a particular way feel free to tell the driver at the start and he will be happy to go your way.
Don’ts
Stand in a bus shelter (the cab driver will think you are trying to stop a bus).
Whistle (8 million people in London it’s impossible to tell who whistled).
Don’t stand on crossings as cabs can not stop there.
Don t stand next to someone else who’s hailing a cab as this just causes problems when both parties try to get in the same cab.
Don’t have takeaways /cans of beer in hand.
Don’t get disheartened or angry if the cab driver does not see you, there will be another cab coming round the corner in a minute.
Don t put your feet up on the seats as this is considered bad manners.
