ABC Taxi Dispatch

Terrible drivers. One just went head on with me going north on 11^th Ave. It tried passing car in a no passing zone. Missed me by inches. Cab companies in town now are dispatched by a central service so no way to complain. City is so corrupt they will tell you the company is a gipsy service and there is nothing they can do. So if its an illegal car and you give them a description, wouldn’t they track it down to detain them? Nope.
Two months ago one turned to the right from the center lane crossing in front of me in the right lane just to take that side street. Yeah terrible drivers.

Worst cab company EVER!!! The cab driver said my husband’s credit card declined (and it wasn’t). So instead of the cab driver telling my husband that he thought the card was declined, he said nothing, handed my husband his card back and called the police.
Within 20 minutes, two police officers showed up at our home and said the cab fare wasn’t paid and accused my husband of stiffing a cab fare. We couldn’t understand why the card would be declined! But we figured something must have gone wrong with the bank. So I paid the fare with my credit card.
After the police left we called the bank to understand why the card was declined. It WASN’T declined. A charge of $ 75.50 went through on my husband’s credit card! And then a charge of $ 75.50 was also processed on my credit card. We were DOUBLE-​CHARGED!
So in short, the cab driver called the police and said the fare wasn’t paid — a lie! Then he charged us twice! If he truly thought the card wasn’t accepted, why wouldn’t he just say so! WORST CAB COMPANY EVER!

So there I was, dressed to the nines and wearing my signature scent, Eau de Mary Jane. I hailed a cab in front of Graves 601. That cab was from ABC Taxi Dispatch. The driver, kind as he was fine, glanced back at me.
«Miss?»
I replied, «Yes?»
“May I say that your natural aroma is intoxicating. It reminds me of a most elegant Phish concert, and evokes thoughts of my mother, God rest her soul.“
I replied, «Yes.»
When the taxi stopped and I stepped out, I turned back and saw the driver’s wistful eyes following me.
«Please don’t tell Rubert of all the things I’ve said. He knows how I feel about Phish.»
«I won’t tell Rubert. I won’t.»

Avoid this cab company, they consistently park in the bike lane on 1^st Ave through downtown.

The valet at the hotel got me into a cab for a short trip — my caveat was they needed to accept Amex for payment.
The first cab did, but then the guy changed his mind and feigned some excuse about having to be on some phone call, so the valet went to the second cab — he also accepted Amex — I got in and the guy immediately started cussing up a storm about the other cabbie — something about always pulling bullshit to get the longer fares to the Airport.
I apologized that I was not an «Airport fare» and he responded it’s not your fault and then continued to cuss. It was about a ten block ride or so in the rain — $ 5.00 — I gave him a $ 2.00 tip. He gave me his card and requested I call him again if I need a cab — I won’t. I thought the whole experience was very unprofessional.
