More than a few. Add up the costs of buying or leasing a vehicle, fuel, maintenance, parking, and increased risk of getting smashed to death (http://www.schallerconsult.com/taxi/crash06.htm), and that’s quite a lot of taxis.
Public transport isn’t free. My interpretation of Gunners point is that while a tank of fuel can look cheap compared to a long distance train ticket, the private car has a lot of hidden costs.
Yeah, you can get a few taxis a month for what it costs to keep a car in a garage.
And you can read or even work in the taxi.
