Transport Make it easier to get a ride at taxi stands

I refer to the article "New measures may help taxi firms grow fleets but don't tackle problem of street-hail availability" (March 13), and want to relate my recent experience.

I am 80. After my day surgery at the National University Hospital last week ended at around 8pm, I joined the queue at the taxi stand in front of the main block to go home. There were fewer than 10 people, mostly elderly, in the queue.

Not many taxis stopped at the taxi stand, and when they did, they were always on call.
