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

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.

I prefer a manual over an automatic in any circumstance. Just more fun to drive. Even in bumper to bumper traffic for 2 hours – if I had my choice it’d be in a manual transmission. The only reason I currently have an automatic is manuals are getting scarce in north america anymore sadly.
