Sir, - Walking home on a cold Friday night at 11.30 p.m., I encountered a flock of 28 taxi-drivers outside the Spar supermarket in Upper Baggot Street, Dublin, all drinking coffee outside their cabs, but "too busy" to accept a fare. "Where are the buses?" said one. Is this a record? - Yours, etc., Daragh M. O'Reilly,
Milltown Road, Dublin 6.
