    Amazing! No wonder they’re the best cabbies in the world; plus their cabs are the most comfortable, too.

    Other cities, especially in the US would do well to imitate them. So many U.S. Cabbies are totally ignorant of where they are going, barely speak English and the cabs leave a lot to be desired. Disgraceful.
