Cabs Need Fixing Now

To be fair, when moaning about Sydney cabs you have to acknowledge that we do have some of the cleanest, safest, best-equipped cabs in the world.

Follow That Cab

Does Sydney have enough cabs? As Miranda Devine pointed out in her column yesterday, it does not seem like it as each year's holiday season approaches. Taxis become harder to find; would-be passengers spend long periods trying to hail them, or make bookings which are not honoured. Rain makes things worse; so does the sudden rise in demand after a big event finishes. Passengers may think that the problem could be solved by issuing more taxi licences. Unfortunately, matters are not so simple.
