Taxi Driver Online

Looking forward too bbc2's "the toughest place to be a taxi driver" sunday night at 9pm when a london cabbie swaps places with a Mumbai taxi driver............

the south of the river bit and lack of a tip may draw rise to a stereotype

Quite sure the Mumbai driver will feel quite comfortably at home....

London taxi driver takes on Mumbai traffic



Mason McQueen is the archetypal London cab driver. He lives in a comfortable home in Essex with his wife and daughter, knows the capital's streets like the back of his hand, and never stops talking.

But he was almost lost for words when he went to India to share the life of taxi driver Pradeep Sharma, who lives in a tiny shack with his extended family and drives a cab without air conditioning in the stifling heat of Mumbai's legendary traffic jams.

In the first part of a new BBC documentary series, Mr McQueen had a go at driving a cab in Mumbai, where he had to take on the heat, the traffic and the fierce competition from auto-rickshaws.

Watch Toughest Place To Be A….Taxi Driver, Sunday 10 March, 2100GMT, BBC Two and for seven days afterwards on the BBC iPlayer.
