I'm skim-read that fairly one-sided article, and I'm not sure how taking a taxi to work and another home again produces any less congestion that me driving each way. Don't get me wrong here: I don't want to drive to work. I like walking. But circumstances change. There's an interesting scene in one of those in "Halting State" which I confess hasn't filled me with enthusiasm for them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_State
