I think you miss the point of 'revolutionising'. It's not about making a couple of trips a year a bit cheaper. It's revolutionary if taxis become cheap enough that lots of people stop owning their own car. Or even if two car families become one car families.
- jarek 14y agoBy that measure carsharing and decent transit is revolutionizing urban life today.
- rprasad 14y agoPeople already do that by moving into the city, esp. NY, SF, and CHI. (People moving to LA buy more cars...) Taxis are disproportionately located in cities because that is where they make the most money (largest customer base). Making taxi rides cheaper would cut into their earnings, and would result in a corresponding loss of taxis until profit margins are restored.
