Taxi status
An observation, yesterday: Every single taxi at the downtown Victoria BC ferry terminal to Seattle was a Prius. Practically new.
But when you get to the US – say, Seattle – the state of your cab is a crap-shoot. It may be a beat-up old car, it may be newer, it may be (as mine was yesterday) a converted mini-van that has seen better, much better, days.
Not sure whether the comparison means anything, but it must have something to do with regulatory practices.
Maybe a key difference is that in one place you can actually hail a beat-up old cab any time of day or night, while in the other you better plan well in advance when you want that beautiful new Prius to arrive.
What works better? It’s an interesting question.
