The same week I read about the Gett-Blackcab bus partnership (woohoo one route, that will make a difference..).
£20 for a hour's drive in a Mercedes E class (with a driver) is hurting the protection racket?
Other news, the government is offering huge subsidies/ grants for conglomerates working on driverless cars and lorries.
Btw: I trust a computer more than most London drivers.
