A reasonably fit person can walk 2 miles in 30-40 minutes, so your cab was literally going walking speed.

Not with heavy baggage.
Duh? I wasn't literally suggesting that GP walk from a hotel; baggage was obviously implied by the context. I'm just commenting on how taking a taxi on that route is less time and speed efficient than walking.

Obviously a bus would be a better choice, or a train depending on geography. They handle baggage just fine.
