In case anyone didn't know, the Knowledge is a real thing.
Wait, I can do forum signatures?
Yeah I was a little apprehensive since people might have seen that as "corny" if they didn't know about it irl.
Oh wow, it really is a real thing. I have to admit that when I read that phrase in the SCP I did think it was pretty goofy sounding. What do you know! Learn something new everyday. Thanks Admiral.

I will definitely do that, Admiral. Thx!
This is catching downvotes because it's not really in the style of a modern SCP, but wow, this is amazingly good.
Easy +1.
Not to be confused with 028, “Knowledge.”
That has nothing to do with my vote. I liked it until the meeting. I would have been much more on board with this if the ability of cabbies was limited to driving on the job (or dealing with customers, stealing fuel etc) but not this sorcery fight stuff.
Yeah I'm just a little confused on how this went to +8 and then to +1. If the criticism is about the ending then that's valid, but if it's being downvoted for the mention of 'The Knowledge' sounding goofy then I'm not sure what to do. It could be a number of things outside of that, so it would be cool to get some feedback (not that you have to) since I was pretty confident in posting this.
Thanks for reading :)
I think it's the fight scene that people don't like.

I downvoted.
The concept is ok: "taxi drivers earn superhuman abilities by passing orientation with real-life counterpart."
But the execution is very basic. The description mentions some reality-bending abilities that make them better at *gasp* getting from one point to another, and then the fight scene reveals that they basically become taxi X-men.
Yeah, the fight scene is not good, it seems implauaible that the MTF would capture every single person in attendance.
The end does not match the tone of the rest of the article. The leader sacrifices himself in a macabre way and writes a message in blood. Not original and not taxi-related.
I don't know what critique I can give for improvement. Make it read less like taxi X-men, i guess.
Or explore the stated goal of the leader more, why would they have such a goofy goal, replacing public transport? They want to use their superhuman abilities to work 9-5? If you're going for goofy, you gotta embrace it.
Nice simple idea. I do enjoy reading these series 1,2 style SCPs. I think it deserves to be upvoted more, but I agree with slightly reworking the ending like the others say. I feel it's a bit random that the taxi people fight with inhuman abilities. If you're willing to go with that idea then I would explore that idea a bit more, maybe in terms of logs and stuff (something like that). Overall nice SCP.
The last collapsible unnecessary, but i like the rest.
