Message-ID:

was incorrect. They're probably no more nor less likely. In that respect,
London's geography and demographics are a great leveller.


But the data, as collated by people who actually know What The Hell
They're Talking About, shows that people who are poor in London are
more likely to be affected by living near heavy traffic than people
who are wealthy.

Unless you're proposing a radically counter-intuitive theory about the
demographics of taxi useage, that strongly suggests that the original
assertion was correct and your 'correction' was not.
