and between three and seven years of training.

Back in the days of when the driver had to memorize the streets of London that made sense, but now with GPS and radio dispatch does it even take three to seven weeks to learn how to be a cabbie?

I very seldom take cabs...anywhere...but I have some experience with London cabs and some with NYC cabs.Night and day! My London drivers have all spoken flawless English,were very polite and helpful and seemed to be very knowledgeable.In fact I think it takes much training and the passing of a rigorous exam before you're allowed to drive a cab in London.

NYC? Don't get me started.

Slightly different issue, but Florida and other vacation states have passed industry protection laws that limit the ability to make a short term lease without paying hotel fees/taxes.

So if I want to rent my home in FL to someone from Michigan for a few weeks in January, I must legally do so under the laws that govern hotels, not the laws that govern home leases. Its real BS.

So I take it the only cabs available during the cab protest were from Über. Now they have added hundreds more satisfied customers.
