> and the difference in fare between Uber and the black cab was 8%

When not on surge pricing, UberX is generally 50-60% discount on the price of a black cab in my experience. Being able to get home for £7 after a night out is amazing.

Thanks for this. Have to decide between black cab and uber later this week and didn't know which would be cheaper. Do you know how accurate Uber's fare estimates are (do they update during surge pricing)?
