> Are taxis like the anti-public transportation?

Taxis are a useful way to get around, including to and from public transit. That's all that should matter. Whether they fit into a particular urban vision is secondary to the fact that they're desirable to the people living there.

True, Omaha is not very "urban" (in the Manhattan sense).

I don't understand the singular focus on them. (Again, maybe because I don't live in Manhattan).

I split time between Manhattan and Wyoming. I still take taxis from time to time in the latter, e.g. to and from the airport or to and from a bar on the weekend with friends.
