What is it with the cost of black cab taxi’s in Edinburgh nowadays?

I just got one from the High street to Blackford and it cost eleven quid! That was with a bare minimum tip as the driver didn’t take cards.

I’ve been in Glasgow a bit recently and Black cab taxi’s seem to be far cheaper. Never really partaken with the likes of Uber in Edinburgh but surely they’re cheaper?

(Don’t think it helped my mood this was right after today’s game!)
