The Ultimate cycle friendly taxi

Mint Sauce

Thought this was a laugh if not brilliant.


Not sure if I would have ever risked it during any of my commutes in London or the odd time in Dublin though.

Surely they should just have a ramp up and over? Line of taxis = pump track?

That looks like a cyclist trap - it shows doors that open to the inside of the tunnel, carnage!

The cyclist goes through the taxi goes through the bus. It's like if Christopher Nolan designed vehicles.

Er, or put the gap on the outside, making the taxi narrower.

At least with the bus it follows a specified route along tracks or guide lines controlled by a sensor.

The taxi idea is totally driver controlled and unpredictable.

Who said they they would risk it??:eek:

A new place for taxi/bus drivers to forget to look, that would be fun.

Would love to know the reasoning behind the two who have so far said yes.

I didn't think it was a serious sensible discussion! If you're gonna do something mad it should always involve a ramp;)

Of course its a serious sensible discussion.

I like it. The design increases risk to the cyclist AND to the left side passengers who are forced to get out into traffic.

The poll only asks if I'd risk it, not if it was a good idea

That taxi needs more cushions.
