The amount of trips is one thing, the distance is another, 5 trips a day between say Swampy Airport and Don Muang or Swampy and Bang Phlad could take all day, without taxi queues.

That will be 68 on an Application, how any on a street pickup.

If he only had 5 passengers per Day, how is he still in Business.

It's endemic, this should not come as a surprise.

If he was infectious he would have been a risk for only 3-4 days not the 2 weeks duration
