Taking a minicab can often be considerable faster than taking the bus, walking or driving your own car. While it's rather obvious that it's faster to take a minicab compared to walk, many people do not understand that minicabs actually might be double as fast as going with bus. The reason behind this is that buses do stop very frequently. Going by your own car can also be way more time consuming, since you don't know the route as well as a experienced minicab driver.
