That's irrelevant... The point is... How would the passenger know what route the Taxi would travel?
Whaley could have exited the Houston street viaduct at Marsallis and then turned west on 7th . 8th. 9th,......
But the FACT remains Whaley's "wino" passenger who was dressed in blue workman's clothes could not know what route Whaley would travel.

No, it's not irrelevant at all.
Oswald was obviously very familiar with the area in question, as was Whaley.

Use all of the side streets versus simply staying on Zang. Riiiight.
A cab located on the Houston Street viaduct at Marsallis would reach 500 North Beckley twice as fast if it took the viaduct to Zang to Beckley than it would if it exited the viaduct at Marsallis and took any of those side streets west.
Common sense told Oswald that the cabbie would take the Houston Street viaduct to Zang to Beckley on it's way to the 500 block.

I don't expect you to understand.
