Taxis aren't mass transport, they are a way rich people can get arround
easilly using lanes designed for mass transit (busses)


Taxis are mass transport because during a day a large number of people
get to use the same vehicle, which is already inside the central area.

It is worth encouraging this, as the alternative is to cope with
(including the manufacturing environmental costs) dozens of individual
vehicles, each making its way through the suburbs.
