Ah OK, that's an interesting point.
Not entirely convinced though.

But surely they're less efficient as they have to travel between jobs?
The whole point of public transport over private is that it's more economical, but a taxi has to travel further than a personal vehicle would.

Reply to comment by meeyeam in TIL In 1971, the Guinness World Records listed Clara as the "Most Indefatigable Cruise Passenger". For 14 years, she lived on RMS Caronia, which cost her $396 in daily fare. Without accounting for inflation, Cunard Line received $4 million from her in tickets. by thenerdknuckle
Who says he isn't? There must be plenty of ghosts on cruise ships, they have a lot of deaths on board.

Thanks, I hadn't really considered the more abstract impacts,but the infrastructure necessary to support personal vehicles vs taxis is a very interesting point.
