love_rat Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I see people being transported to and from Supermarkets in taxis. I assume these taxis are free, or the people using this service are very rich. If they are free, how do I go about using this service? I don't want to pay, I just want to use a taxi as a means of cutting my outgoings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to pay, I just want to use a taxi as a means of cutting my outgoings We don't drive, and ordering for delivery costs around £5 from the Asda nearby. A taxi from there to here costs about £4.20. Thus when my wife does the weekly shopping, she walks to the Asda, and gets a taxi back. Bus would not be a good option as that would mean getting one bus into the center, and then one out again (a round trip of about 50 minutes). Taxi is a lot more convenient. Nothing about being very rich (far from it), and it is actually cutting our outgoings at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vague_Boy Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I see people being transported to and from Supermarkets in taxis. What is this country coming to. I ask you! I assume these taxis are free, or the people using this service are very rich. You're a big one for assumptions aren't you? Why do you assume that they're free? I think many of them get free taxis if they are council tenants with no shop within a certain distance.I believe it is thought unfair(by Brussels) that people should carry groceries more than a kilometre without some assistance.
