HEx is designed to compete with a taxi, not the tube or any of those
others.

But unlike taking a cab or Underground - HEx doesn't actually take
pax. into Central London. They end up at the building site dump of
Paddington. Then they have to take a cab from there into London - at
extra cost. Or lummox heavy luggage on the Bakerloo LIne. Welcome to
rip-off Britain.

In your opinion it may not be a very useful competitor, but plenty
of people do seem to use it.

How many are under the mistaken impression that Paddington is close to
where they want to go?
