I suspect few of you have ever travelled in a smart car.

If your choice was standing in a rank out at the airport or anywhere in the City, on your lonesome, or being delivered to your destination, what would it be?

There is no choice. I your standing on a rank and looking for a cab it won't be a smart car picking you up as there not "legally" allowed to pick up from the street or ranks

But you would know that wouldnt you skull?

I'm not supporting anything. I'm merely making the point, their target market is people travelling on their own. Did they not claim that approximately 55% of a taxis work was single customers? :?

What you should be asking yourself is, in what way, is licensing this smart car the thin end of the wedge? :-|
