Drivers Report Increase in Fares Using the London Taxi AUTO CENTRAL – April 14, 2009: Taxi drivers around the globe are reporting an increase in fares and earnings by switching to the world famous London Black Cab. In cities from Bahrain to Beijing and Riyadh to Cape Town, drivers are choosing to drive a London Taxi as tourists and business people instantly recognise the world famous vehicle. In Beijing, taxi drivers report an increase of thirty percent in takings when driving the London Taxi and in Riyadh, the black cab is preferred over limousines by the top hotels. This point of view is supported by polls and surveys all over the internet that report the London Taxi as the best in the world. “Almost half (44%) of the 3,300 travellers from France, Germany, Spain and the UK surveyed by Hotels.com said that London's black cabs were the best,” reported the website Hotels.com. Tourists and travellers visiting London, home of the Black Cab always quote the taxi as one of the chief reasons for visiting and one of the top ten attractions according to Forbestraveler.com who say “a tourist attraction unto itself. The world's greatest taxi city,” “It is the best vehicle and service in the world,” commented Rob Laidler, Sales Director for LTI Vehicles. “We regularly hear anecdotes from drivers throughout the country that passengers instantly recognise the TX series as taxis, whilst converted vans are often mistaken for private hire or minibuses and feel they miss out on some fares as a result”. So it is no surprise to Matthew Cheyne, International Market Development Director for LTI that drivers around the world would want to choose the London Taxi as well. “It makes sense that a vehicle which is purpose built, recognised everywhere you go, fun to use, safe and offers the passenger privacy if they want it, would be the automatic choose for passengers if it is available. And we know that drivers who operate and drive the London Taxi are busier and earn more than their colleagues.” |

It isn't given to spontanious combustion either.

Couldn't comment, never having driven a TX4. Test drove a TX4 and will not purchase one Own TX2's and am thinking about selling them and buying saloon's later this year, LTI's products need a lot more refinement and yes LTI do over emphasis their vehicles. But it is no more than AV or CD do with their advertisement and that was a press release, I would challenge anyone from LTI to sit in a TX2 and do 8 hours and see how they felt whe they finally got out of that awful seat they say is fit for driving from. |
