What about the time spent finding parking or the fact that taxis enable people to not have cars at all, this increasing ridership in all forms of transportation.
- rahimnathwani 9y agoPrivate cars driving into or through central London don't spend 50% of their time finding parking. In many cases, they are just driving through central London to get to the other side. So there's zero time spent driving aimlessly or finding parking. Your second point about enabling people to not have cars seems pretty tenuous. Is your argument that exempting taxis from the London congestion charge increases supply or decreases price, to the extent that more people can go without cars?
- ec109685 9y agoI was arguing the point about taxis causing more congestion: > taxis still cause twice as much congestion But I see that wasn't exactly what you were trying to say.
