Poor people can't afford taxis !

( It costs me $ 60 to go a few miles by taxi, and $ 2.50 by bus. ) Of course that same route takes 15 minutes by taxi, and an hour and 48 minutes by bus ... and then you have a 22 minute walk after you get to the drop off point in the hot Texas sun. )

My neighbor does the Uber thing. He charges half of the taxi fare, but still $ 30 just to go a few miles down the road ?
No. )
