Taxis in Cyprus are something like holdovers from the Ottoman Empire. The only difference is they quit feeding their horses hay some time ago and now give them petrol.
In Cyprus the taxi fleet has blocked streets to protest the expansion of airport shuttle services . And I believe they are one of the reasons we have so little bus service. So kids cannot go to after school activities and people without cars cannot get to where they need to go. And most taxis don’t seem to accept credit cards.
All that will change soon as while America has slowed down, because of lawyers and their lawsuits, China is working to replace cars entirely with self driving taxis in several big cities. What they learn will pass down to the rest of us. They will debug this technology.
So taxi drivers can soon go from driving Mercedes to washing the new self driving robo taxis . And they are cheap : 50 cents. You call them with a cell phone. And they don’t smoke.
Very soon people won’t even need to own their own cars. And when all cars are self driving they won’t crash into each other in the roundabouts as they will talk to each other.
As for the Mercedes, we can put them in the archeological museum. Put the drivers there too. They can sweep up the place.

Looks like a wall of bullshit generated by artificial stupidity.
