Again -- where all those cars will be parked, knowing before I would either take a cab, or take a public transportation?

Will we get millions of parkings underground built the same time AC hit the streets? Dont think so.

Further, you saying that removing cabbie will cut the cost. Hmm.. my take is that it is the city that makes the most money out of cabbies. I can bet my left arm (Im lefty) that if the city will realize they losing large chunk of money due to AC driving everywhere, I am sure they will smack you with such an AC ride tax that taxis will become again a reasonable alternative!
