Defiantly not rare. And I don't want to spend my evening complaining to tfl.

Then just accept the fact you’re part of the problem. If everyone was like you and only in it for themselves, quality service would be rare, if not ever.
I'm PAYING money in order to get a service to reduce the stress in my life.
I'm not paying money to increase it.
I improve services by voting with my wallet, which black cabs are trying to take away from the consumer.
While the cabbies do hate Uber, I'm not sure you can blame the current moves entirely on them, there's quite a lot more to it than that.
Everybody knows the blackcabs have been lobbying tfl and major for a long time.
Sure, but I don't think you can really blame the black cabs for the ban, there's a lot of substance to the complaints.
No. Switching to a different provider is an excellent response to poor service. And one that definitely incentivizes improvement.

LOL! How about instead of doing that, everyone just uses a service that doesn't suck?
A customer should not HAVE to report people for this shit. It should just work. And if it doesn't, then I am using a different service.
Report them, by taxi license number (displayed on a plate in the passenger area). Both those things are rare and taken seriously, but the authorities can't do anything if they aren't told.
