This results in saving money, fuel and in turn helping the environment in an easy manner. However, this culture of sharing cabs and taxis have not been implemented in Cardiff or Wales in general.<\/p>\n<p>Cities like London and Manchester have started to execute this plan but Wales is still far behind. We asked the people living in Cardiff if they would be willing to share a cab ride with a total stranger to save money and help the environment.<\/p>\n<h3>Coco Chew,\u00a021<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-42929\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/04\/coco-e1554941934742-625x352.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-42929\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/04\/coco-e1554941934742-625x352.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, I will use a shared cab.
