The simple present can express


1) A habitual action or a condition (state) 

- Comment tu vas au bureau (en général)?

- Je vais au bureau en taxi.  (I go to the office by taxi. - habit)


2) An action in progress (started but not finished)

- dring ... 

- Allô?

- Jean, où es-tu? / que fais-tu (maintenant)?

- Je vais au bureau en taxi." (I am going to the office by taxi.  - action in progress)


3) A certain future action

- Ma voiture est tombée en panne.  Demain, je vais au burean en taxi." (I will go to the office by taxi. - future action)


Context is important for understanding the statement.
