Because a taxi is - in its very essence - a *private* space which

What? There's a bus that takes me from Heathrow to outside my house in

That's a problem you have with buses. Not everyone has it.

The fact that you do is not a good reason for disrupting the legitimate
livelihood of others.

(on an ad hoch basis with someone that I don't know), I wont be using a cab

I explaining to them how they can get business that they have otherwise lost
