• Answer:

  London Black Taxi are under special rules- they all charge the same rate. this rate s Set by the London's mayor office. You pay by distance and by the time you spend in the taxi. You can hail a black cab on the street ( if you see one that is available) Local Taxi firms will give you quotes and could be cheaper if you shop around. You have to call them to pick you up and take you to the place you want to go. You cannot hail them on the road. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/gettingaround/taxisandminicabs/taxis/1136.aspx The Subway in London is called the 'Tube' or the Underground.
