A good idea unless one is rolling in dough. (I'm not.)

Very location-dependent. True in some places, not others. Singapore taxis, for example, are great.

This is FT gospel! That said, if you're going to spend a lot of time in one place, its advantages are often overstated. Again, don't be so one-size-fits-all. Your needs are not everyone's needs.
