Sorry to burst your tortured made up anecdote, but taxis exist.

Taxis are expensive and have the fuel issue per the post were replying to. They were pretty long winded but busses do take longer than driving yourself that much is true.

Not in my city they don't. I mean, I even mentioned that if you had read what I wrote, but you do you.
