To address the declining number of black cabs in London, which has dropped to under 15,000, Transport for London will simplify the notoriously difficult 'Knowledge' entrance test. This decision aims to attract new drivers and safeguard the iconic black cab trade facing competition from ride-hailing apps. The new action plan includes better training, online resources, and a list of essential points for the exam, although concerns arise regarding fare increases that could discourage passengers from using black cabs.
The proposed changes to the 'Knowledge' entrance test aim to facilitate entry into the black cab profession, making it less daunting for potential drivers.
London's black cabs could face extinction in the next 20 years if current trends in declining numbers of established drivers continue.
