It struck me. I remember the debacle when the TFI stickers were going on. For me, it is about an holistic model. Can we do without the taxis? No, we cannot. At the end of the day, for a myriad of reasons, people under pressure for time will take a taxi, be it in a rural area or an urban one. For someone with a son or daughter out late at night, but particularly a daughter, the taxi drivers' service is very good. I was out with two of my daughters recently. Using an app, it was possible to get two taxis, which arrived within two or three minutes. It was a great service.
