The Notion to Blog

Practically every day there are news reports like this about a taxi that has rolled and passengers that were injured or killed.

Its such a norm, it shouldn’t even make headlines, just like the weather: its there if you want to read it but you have to look for it.

If you want to travel in a taxi, face the concequences of being a statistic. Statistics don’t make headlines (unless of course a large part of the population is wiped out by taxi’s in one day).

Harsh words, I know, espeically because its peoples lives involved, but they choose to put their lives at risk every time they get into a taxi. We all know how recklessly taxi drivers are on the road in their unroadworthy vehicles, packed to capacity. They’re endangering the live of their passengers and the hundreds of others that have to make way for them.

I guess its no secret I hate taxi’s.  Arguing that the drivers need to put food on the tables and that its a mode of transport for the poor doesn’t stand up to the fact that people die in them every day.

Taxi’s should be banned unless the driver has a stringent license.   I hope the rapid bus transport system takes over and makes taxis unviable.
