I was on hold last night for about an hour trying to find a taxi. Why are they so hard to get at peak times? Why doesn't the city grant more licenses? Is it because it would dilute it too much during non-peak times? Well, how about taxis that can only be operational on thu-fri-sat nights?

We can't drink & drive, right? Well what are the alternatives? TAke a bus at 1 or 2 am? That outfit that drives your car for you? They're busy too.

Yeah, yeah, plan your night ahead. Designate a driver. Bullcrap. Maybe on days when you actually plan. What about the spontaneous nights that just develop out of the blue?

More taxi licenses at least for peak times. This is ridiculous. This city is so damn big that if you're lucky enough to be close to home, you're still probably a car ride away. Especially in the winter. [/rant]
