London taxis
Text
One day after an external visit Vladimir Antonov one of the participants of the Programme decided to go sightseeing by himself. Just to economise time, he decided to go by taxi.
The famous London black taxi cabs can be hailed in the street. Some cabs are now painted different colours and carry limited advertising, but are still bound by the same strict regulations. They are available for hire if the yellow light above the windscreen is lit. All these taxis have meters which the driver must use on all journeys within the Metropolitan Police District. The District covers most of Greater London and goes out to the Heathrow Airport. For longer journeys the price is usually negotiated with the driver beforehand. There is also a minimum payable charge which is shown on the meter when you hire the cab. Passengers are expected to pay extra for large luggage, journeys between 20.00—06.00, at weekends and holidays.
There are over 500 ranks throughout London, including all major hotels and British Rail stations.
Besides black cabs there are mini-cabs which practically render similar services. But they cannot be hailed in the street, they are indistinguishable from private cars. Unlike the black cabs they are not licensed and their drivers do not take the same stringent tests. They are cheaper than black cabs. Usually they are ordered by telephone. They are listed in Yellow Pages.
When Vladimir saw a cab with a yellow light he signaled it to halt:
Vladimir: Excuse me, could you take me to Westminster Bridge?
Driver: Yes, certainly. Get in please..... Where do you want me to stop?
Vladimir: Near Big Ben or just opposite the Houses of Parliament.
Driver: Good..... Here you are.
Vladimir: How much is it?
Driver: The meter says three forty.
Vladimir: Here it is... Keep the small change.
Driver: Thank you. Good-bye. Enjoy the sights.
