"If the new road is slightly longer than the old route, maybe unscrupulous taxi drivers driver will use it more to increase the taxi fares"

Or provide a better service by getting them to their destination quicker.

Also, although I haven't used a taxi for a while doesn't the clock keep ticking whilst sat in a traffic jam? If so it could be cheaper for the passenger to use the new road.

Why do some people always look for the negatives rather than the positives?
