AFAIK taxis don't pretend to be "sustainable".

I suppose if that's a pressing concern for them, they could always go back to the horse-drawn versions... Though I'm not sure what that has to do with the relevancy of the role taxis play in London transit.

They're a plague on the city.

But they have a lot of political clout as they can jam up all the bus lanes when anything slightly inconvenient happens to them.
