whoah! that got fucked up. rephrase: are taxi drivers stupid right-wing people who want everything for free and can't stop talking about how useless your job is compared to theirs everywhere or is it just here? |

It's just in there, in here they just go with the longest route in order to get to your chosen destination. |

I do my damndest to never use public transport in the UK unless I'm hammered. The cost of taxis is obscene, I refuse to believe the myth "it's cheaper than buying a car" for the normal person: A cheap runaround car, plus a years petrol, servicing, etc. can be had for comfortably under £2K a year. A 100 mile journey in a taxi is well over £70 round here. So, assuming you do 50 miles a week on average, it's cheaper to own a car. Plus you don't have to wait an hour for your own car to turn up, listen to people with idiotic views/inane music, etc. whilst you're in it. Also, a hell of a lot of taxis nowadays don't actually have "the knowledge" and you end up directing them every step of the way, as you would a friend who hasn't been to your destination before. So it's not like you can relax and read a book. I'm not opposed to the idea of public transport (although you tend to encounter unpleasent people on it), it's just that in the UK at least, the implementation is piss-poor. Where I live, I would literally be stuck in town at the weekend: no buses on sundays, no train station within walking distance, £25 taxi to the nearest city with decent rail links. The only public transport that ever really impressed me were the Paris Metro and the buses on Menorca (Spain). Erm, sorry for going a bit off topic there. Transport is one of my peeves. |

no, they are not like that here. some of them are just too much talkative as for me. But all of them curse a lot when theu meet some problems on the road, like stupid assholes in other cars, buses which stop everywhere on passenger demands and pedestrians crossing streets. |

100 mile journey is £70? more like £200 a couple of weeks ago it cost £26 from mansfield which is 11 miles |
||||||||

but a taxi is private transport. |

Yes, I was intentionally making very conservative estimates with the figures, also I said it was, well over £70 round here. What you said further proves my point. |
