The tube is £10 a taxi is £15, what do you do?

[Zipsilon]

Looking at the cost of getting to a friend’s house for dinner. It’s three changes on the tube and roughly £10 for two, takes 40 minutes. A taxi is £15 door to door and takes 45 minutes.

Which would you take?

Tube. Better for the environment.

Taxi. No brainer 😂

Taxi.

Taxi. 100%.

Taxi

Tube. Cheaper and not any slower.

The 3 changes would be annoying and a bit if a faff, so probably taxi.

Taxi 🚖

Tube (and then 5 mins I to your journey you'll wish you'd taken a taxi!)

Surely a 45 minute journey would cost more than £15....? But if not, taxi!

Taxi. £5 isn’t such a big gap.

Taxi probably

But certainly on the way back

What 45 min ride costs 15 quid though?!

A 45 minute journey is probably more than £15 would think about £25 to £30

Tube. Better for the environment and I like people watching. It’s a novelty for me though as I live rurally - might feel differently if I did it regularly.

Uber not a taxi for those asking about price

Am I wearing heels?

Tube

Taxi as 3 changes is a faff. If it was direct then would get the tube.

With 3 changes there’s no guarantee of the time it would take as you’d need to wait each time too? So could be longer than 40 mins. Plus you need to walk to the tube then to the house! Taxi is door to door.

Taxi

Taxi/Uber whatever

Taxi due to minimal difference in price and less faff.

Taxi.

Given a choice I'd always get a taxi rather than public transport, even if pt was free.

How are you getting back? Cos £10 tubecsounds like an all day ticket, but that taxi is one way. I’m also surprised that even Uber is offering £15 for a 45 minute ride!

I’m also surprised by 4 tubes! I’d have thought most places were 2 changes - 1 train to the line that will link you to line you need, so 3 tubes total.

I would tip if I was only paying £15 for 45 minutes. So it wouldn’t be £15 vs £10 for me.
