A taxi driver asked Elena if she wanted the shortest route or the quickest. She chose the quickest.
The car turned into a narrow street, then stopped behind a delivery van. Five minutes passed.
“Is this really quicker?” Elena asked.
“Usually,” said the driver. “The main road has roadworks.”
He checked the navigation screen. It suggested reversing to a junction they had passed.
The delivery driver appeared at the van’s rear doors with a trolley.
“How long will you be?” Elena asked him.
“Three parcels,” he said. “One is for your driver.”
The taxi driver sighed. “I ordered a faster charger.”
