Why do Taxi drivers in the UK and Europe drive cars with predominantly manual gearboxes

Question

If I was driving 8-10 hours per day I’d want an auto… I know manuals used to be cheaper and are still a little cheaper, but I’d have thought the reduced effort would be appealing.

Where have you got this info from? Gotta say here in Sweden – or at least in Stockholm – I can’t remember when I was in a Taxi that wasn’t an automatic. Never in the 2000’s have I seen it…
