Taxis are too crowded for comfort

Editor, We are over squeezed in taxis and yet the bus fare does not reduce to compensate for being packed like sacks of potatoes. I only wish this could change. Getting on board is hard enough and trouble all together. The seats do not fold and you have to keep knocking your knees on those hard metals. On top of that our taxis are in very poor hygienic conditions. This does not help the dangerous mechanical condition of the vehicles and you wonder, whether your life is safe hands.
