You are right about the cartel. Ate at Sharkey's a few years ago and the staff wouldn't call a Bluebird taksi for me, they said to get one outside. The price being demanded by the drivers was over double what it cost to get there by Bluebird, so I walked away. A young driver appeared out of the shadows when I was well away from the other drivers and offered to do it for the price I had been offering the cartel........ and, oh boy, did he ever drive like the wind!
