But with limiting taxis you increase the amount of cars on the streets, aren't you? People probably won't stop traveling because there are no free taxis. They jump in their own car.


Do you typically drive around 8 hours a day?


No. I drive twice. And while I do that I'm stuck in the traffic and search for parking lots.

No way everyone driving in their own car is somehow better for the environment than a specialised subset of carholders.


What I'm saying is that taxis don't drive for an hour or two and then park, they're congesting the streets all day.


Not in the cities where I live. They generally park in specific hubs made for them by city planners in front of strategic places like train stations, hotels etc. It's Germany though..


Well in many cities there are lots of taxis looking for fares far away from taxi stands. Uber drivers also cannot use them anywhere I know of.
