These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Coach to Barcelona Sants reaches Barcelona Sants; the Taxi to Reus does not. These prices are to REUS, about 10 km away. No taxi fare to Barcelona is published by anyone — the only long-distance figure Aena prints is EUR 200, and that is to Barcelona's AIRPORT rather than to the city.
The Taxi to Reus is quicker: 15 min against 2 h. The Coach to Barcelona Sants varies between 100 and 140 minutes.
Coach to Barcelona Sants: 07:10–17:10. Taxi to Reus: hours not recorded.

You cannot buy this online. The operator greys out the button and marks every departure as sold on board only — pay the driver.
There are twelve a week. Check your specific day before you plan around it; on most days there are two, and on weekends there is one.
It takes up to 2 hours 20 depending on the run, and stops at Valls and other towns on the way.
If you miss it, the practical alternative is the hourly coach to Tarragona and a train from there — but no through fare for that is published anywhere.
A saloon or a seven-seater, depending on what you book.

The bus beats it at every party size into Reus: seven people pay EUR 28.00 on the bus against EUR 33.17 in a seven-seat taxi.
These are pre-booking prices, not a tariff. Take one from the rank and the meter runs instead.
The legal seat limit is unknown. This firm sells up to seven and refuses eight, but the ordinance that would settle it is not available to check — so seven is one company's policy, not established law.
For Barcelona, no taxi price exists at all. At roughly 100 km on an interurban meter it would be far more than the EUR 17.55 coach.
