I disagree. taxis are a form (allbeit expensive) of public transport. It is far preferable that several thousand rich businessmen (and others) use a pool of taxis rather than have their chaufeurs/cars clogging up the city.

On the subject of Boris, in my view he's a buffoon, which can be amusing, but is not conducive to running what is arguably the most important capital city in Europe.
