For almost as long as the car has been around, taxis have served major metropolitan areas. Nearly every single person reading this has relied on a taxi at least once in their life. After all, nothing serves as a savior more than a lucky encounter with a taxi cab after a long night at the bar. The taxi isn’t just a first-world thing, either. Loads of countries in Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe also sport taxi services. In short, no matter where you live or your lot in life, you need to get around town one way or another, and taxis beat walking.
