Dark Taxi

The drivers of London’s black cabs learn their trade in hard way. In order to get their famou green badge the drivers have to complete ‘The Knowledge’. Getting this qualification involes getting on a moped and memorising every street within six miles of Charing Cross. Taxi drivers are regulated by the Metropolitah Police and discipline is very important. Exams are conducted with military formality and future drivers are ofen nervous. The minimum fare is only ₤1.50 the driver’s weekly wage can be up to ₤800!
