Complaining about pricing of cabs is rich people wanting their bit of capitalism to feel fair to them.
For many people a cab is something you use when all other transport options have failed and you need to get somewhere now even if it means eating just beans on toast for the next week.

Yes. I had a friend once who took a cab to work when her bus didn't arrive, even though it meant she would have a net negative income for that day, so she wouldn't lose her job.
