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.
