Black Cabs in London have been called off

This was a strange call off for Londoners this week when nearly hundreds of Black Taxi Cabs were asked to get off the roads after the much engine fire stories that have been around for quite some time.

The British Capital’s public transport system which is run by the TFL, asked for enquiry into nearly 650 taxis in August after series of reports on engines catching fire mysteriously. This was common for a particular model called the TX4.

Although no casualties have been reported yet, the Transport for london said that they are suspending the licenses of all the TX4 cabs with immediate effect which have 56 licence plate.

It was reported earlier that complains kept coming about sudden burst of engines into fire causing much danger to the lives of drivers and its passenger.

A check has been carried out to find out the exact reason for such incidents. Around 22,000 black cabs run across london daily. Well, i guess its time for londoners to start using alternate transport for sometime now.
