GTA VI London: 10 Things You Must Be Able To Do

5. Turn The London Taxi War Into A Full-On Street War

If you're a Londoner, you'll be aware that Black Cab drivers are a - shall we say - 'passionate' bunch, who feel incredibly threatened every time a private-hire minicab firm turns up and starts competing for their fares. For example, when taxi app Hailo decided to include private-hire cabs in its listings, black cabbies vandalised the company's offices. Currently, black cabbies are embroiled in a bitter legal dispute with Uber over whether the company's fare calculator app amounts to a 'taximeter'. Several times each year, black cabs barricade London's streets in protest against one thing or another. A GTA London game should escalate the so-called taxi war to the next level, allowing the player to get involved by carrying out assassinations, firebombing buildings, and driving around in Uber cabs causing chaos on the roads to give them a bad name. Players would be able to choose whether to side with the young-and-hip Uber or the old-school black cabby cockneys. When you've completed missions for either side, the city will be completely filled with the cab company you sided with.
