Taxis sucks. It is a privatized solution for a lack of adequate public transit.
I don’t have a car and rarely use regular taxis in the first place because I see them as a failure of the system. If you don’t “need” a car but still need to have someone driving you around in a car, you still need a car.
And taxis are so inefficient as public transit. They still cause congestion and are stuck with the other traffic.
And don’t forget to tip rhe driver!
I cannot understand people using Uber, Waymo and crap like this.
I took a vacation in St-Martin/St-Maarten and hated every fucking minute where I needed to get from A to B, because they only have expensive taxis stuck in the trafic of their tiny island. It cost $25 to $30 to get anywhere and $5 more to pay with a credit card. And you had to get back. It fucking sucks the money right out of your pocket.
In contrast I went to Guadeloupe and it cost less than €3 for the bus ride from the airport to the city.
Fuck taxis! Give us buses, trams, trains, metros, anything but just more fucking cars.
Videos posted online seem to show instances where the vehicles, which had a safety driver in the passenger seat, drive erratically.
Scary… Human reaction time + lack of pedals control.
