I have had occasion to call a taxi home after public transit has shut down [a decision I made myself knowing consequences]. When I expressed what the general cost was to my [rather cheap] parent who still lives in 1973, he was astounded. "Why are you shocked and horrified? $45 is a good deal for a 1am taxi at that distance. I cannot believe you've suddenly forgotten about inflation. If you want 1973 taxi prices, go back to 1973 or do an uber." It appears that a latter part of my quip shall become null and void in a near future.
