Long waits

Any Asian entrepreneur wanting to get rich quickly should consider starting a big taxi business in Southampton.
This city hosts a number of cruises throughout the year attracting thousands of passengers, yet taxis, as I and my family discovered recently, are extremely scarce. After disembarking there from a Mediterranean cruise, we waited in a long queue for over one hour before we were picked up. Instead of a massive taxi rank ready to serve passengers, just a few taxis ferried passengers to and from the terminals to the city centre at extended intervals. I would advise entrepreneurs who are interested to go there and see the taxi situation for themselves
before making a decision.
