More numbers...

Hey, look!

Better wait times, higher cab takings!

Another piece of not so informative "proof" that the fare hike is a good thing.
The "better" wait time could have been due to less people taking cabs. Not enough information in the article to form proper conclusion. (Aside from the one it is pushing.)

As for the higher average takings... let me see...
$307 to $318.
Wow! that's like a 3.6% increase! Erm... wait a minute... was not an average increase of 10% reported just recently??

It does not matter that the demand has dropped, as long as it is met I guess...
(sarcasm, for those who don't get it.)
