This brings another questions: If walking after dark is dangerous, and people don't take public transport either after dark, how safe are taxis? For context: Many people in my country (Mexico) rely on having the phone number of a known taxi base, as they don't trust grabbing a random taxi on the street.

A good help, of course, but still likely to leave people stranded. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
