Save the Black Cab: London Faces Taxi Extinction

London's iconic black cabs might disappear in 20 years. A report by @Centre_for_London highlights a drastic decrease in their numbers, urging action from Sadiq Khan and the government. The decline stems from rising costs in transitioning to electric cabs and increased competition from services like Uber. While public sentiment supports black cabs, measures such as reforming driver tests and offering interest-free loans could prevent extinction. Prominent figures within the industry call for immediate intervention to preserve this key part of London’s heritage and transport system.
