If Uber didn't exist, black cabs would have probably lost to Addison Lee or similar even more rapidly. They seem determined to embrace anachronism. It took them four years from Uber arriving to actually take card payments. The three years of training was always ridiculously overblown, even before GPS arrived a decade ago. And not going South of the river wasn't just a cliche. The time to consider competing has long gone.
