Buses are still available, if not always convenient. A taxi is not a bus.


The hybrid matatu/jitney model works reasonably well in many countries.

Your preferences are not a reason to abolish protection for taxi-passengers.


Who's proposing to abolish your ability to hire a taxi to yourself?
What is being proposed is allowing people who wish to to take a shared
taxi. Those who do not wish to can continue to take one to themselves,
obviously at a fare commensurate to that.
