FEWER people are taking cabs these days as more hop on buses and trains, or cut back on travel expenses.
On average, there were 893,674 taxi trips made a day in the first three months of the year, the lowest in five years, after recovering steadily from a post-Sars low.
This is about 8,805 fewer rides a day than the same quarter last year, and down another 74,673 rides from 2007.
