I remembered the time when it was not possible to call a taxi at home using a smartphone they had not yet been invented and calling a taxi service was not always successful either no one picked up, or the dispatcher advised to wait until the morning.
Then I had to go out into the street and look for a taxi in the dark heading in a given direction and hoping that I would find a taxi before I reached my destination by foot.
The moment when, all of a sudden a taxi was noticed on the side of the road was always bright and similar to the delight of a hunter who managed to bring down a mammoth.
