Interesting Facts

According to the Licenced Taxi Driver Association, over 10,000 mobile phones are left behind in taxis in London every month. (Of course, with the introduction of PAYM network, the mobile phone payment system adopted by nine of the biggest banks in the UK, you'll be paying for your taxi with your phone, so you're less likely to forget it.)

According to Trip Advisor's TripIndex, London is the world's most expensive city for a night out. (It costs an average of £330.45, which includes the combined costs for two people of one night in a four-star hotel, with cocktails, a two-course dinner with a bottle of wine and taxi fare home. Hah! What's wrong with a fish supper and the bus?)

The BBC spent a massive £14m on taxis in 2008. (That works out at more than £38,000 a day. BBC staff took more than 406,000 taxi rides. I wonder how many times round the world that would go?) Source - Daily Mirror
