Paris is a city of taxis. Going at
great speed they follow one another
very closely, sometimes in such
long line that it is necessary to wait
several moments before crossing the
street. They are so numerous and 60
so fast that somehow they remind
me Of little bugs chasing each other

While local operators are hopeful
