But what happens to the bags after they have been picked up from the carousel, i.e. not lost? Over the same time period there has been an increase in wheeled luggage. This has been a game changer. In the olden days people needed a taxi even if the hotel was a short walk away from the airport. This was because without the wheels it was quite a struggle to move one's luggage. With the wheeled luggage people can get public transport that bit easier. So they are willing and able to walk a bit. The wheeled luggage has not been welcomed by all. Demand for taxi airport runs diminished considerably with this innovation. But do people get parted from their luggage on the way on and off trains/tubes/buses more than in the olden days when a taxi driver was there to take responsibility for what was in his/her vehicle?
