The London Taxi Service arrives in Riyadh

24th February, 2010

A high profile launch of the London Taxi Service recently took place at the Kingdom Mall in Riyadh.

The occasion was marked by a special ribbon cutting ceremony performed by HM Ambassador Sir William Patey KCMG, Sheik Nasser Alkahtani, president of The London Cab Club and John Russell, Chief Executive Officer of Manganese Bronze Holdings the parent company of The London Taxi Company.

The London Taxi has been operating in Riyadh for some months now and the special event marked the official launch of the service throughout Riyadh.

The London Taxi Service uses the unique London Taxi to provide a high class premium transport service in the city. Trained and courteous drivers in smart uniforms open doors, carry luggage and drive carefully to ensure the passenger always experiences a comfortable, safe journey. The London Taxi is specially designed for privacy for the passenger in a separate compartment from the driver with an intercom and five seats facing each other for the ultimate personal transport service.

“The London Taxi has been designed for the task of providing the ultimate in comfort, convenience and privacy,” stated John Russell. “But here in the Middle East it has also been adapted to cope with the extremes of temperature and operation conditions.”

There are over a hundred London Taxis in Riyadh and more are on their way. The vehicles are all part of the London Cab Club, a uniquely designed loyalty club that rewards passengers for using the service.

The service has proved a huge hit immediately and plans are now underway to launch it in other cities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Middle East.
