It is a taxi if you are paying for transportation to the desired location.

He's *technically* correct. Ambulances aren't taxis, but for emergencies. But people aren't using them when they need them because of costs.

Ambulances being abused for a taxi is just that: abusing the system. But rather that than the alternative the US is "enjoying."

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

They get "abused" that way in the US too, often by the very homeless or very middle class. (Source: am EMS)

I get what you are saying. But we have idiots here who might call it when they had something routine or non-emergency at the hospital 1/2

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

There's often reason for using an ambulance for non- emergency transport, and people will always call for dumb reasons, shouldn't cost $1k.

That might be better than the current system, I don’t know. 2/2

Just a heads up, I argued once that the ambulance isn't meant to ferry people to appointments and got downvoted, so. Good luck.

It still would, though, cause it doesnt do anything else. Its just not when you're supposed to use the krankenwagen.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

It isn’t your taxi. Ambulances take much too direct of routes to be taxis.

5 years ago | Likes 34 Dislikes 1

Wait a moment ... your Taxis don't take the shortest/fastest route to the destination?

5 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

Absolutely not. They charge based on distance. So they'll take the longest, most serpentine route possible to maximize profit.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

The only way they'll take the shortest, most direct route is if you catch them going out of the way and call them out.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Not in the states, because they charge over distance.

Later and ~4hours in the hospital. Turns out it was just a really deep bruise, and I was lucky as fuck that nothing broke. So long $1500

(Thankfully my shitty insurance covered the time spent in the hospital, I only had to pay like $80 out of pocket. But not the ambulance)

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I mean, they're definitely only meant for when you can't just get there yourself or immediate emergencies...

5 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 2

The point is that people have called a cab instead of 911 while bleeding out or giving birth because they couldn't afford an ambulance.

5 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

And while that's clearly wrong, the rest of the world is fighting that some people get an ambulance when they just have a broken arm

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 3

Idk what side your on but my recommendation is you do not drive with a broken arm.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I don't know why you think a broken arm is life threatening. Get a taxi.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Or some other ailment that clearly could go on a taxi... Which is why Americans pushing this is pushed back against by others.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Yeah, it's not a binary kind of issue. And there are a small number of super-users when it may or may not be advisable.
