This article is misguided. Using a taxi is good for the environment exactly because it is expensive. You use a taxi first of all because you don't have a car. You don't have a car because you either ride public transport or you walk/cycle.

Don't get mad at people who use taxis a few times per week for short distances. Get mad at people who clog highways with their polluting owned cars.

With enough income, riding taxis daily becomes feasible. I think the question is distinguishing the two, instead of accusing everyone who uses them.
