To the cab driver who took Barrington instead of Robie off the MacKay bridge to take me to CUNARD STREET this morning at 8:30am… are you kidding me? OF COURSE it was going to be bumper to bumper. So, I told you so. And I want my $20 back.
Misses her car.

Hopefully you got a rooflight number. If you did, give Steve Adams a call (I think he still deals with taxi complaints) 490-4050.
Yep, it’s Steve Adams. I had a driver tell me that he “didn’t drive” from downtown to Clayton Park back in November. So I took his info and the dude’s license got suspended over it. I “don’t drive to Clayton Park” indeed. Gotta get that light number though, and if it’s dark and they don’t have it turned on (still haven’t figured that one out) you wont be able to see it.
why would you go through the trouble of gettin a cad drivers liscence suspendid because he took you to the wrong place? i hope you know theres probably another homeless cad driver in the world now because of you.
pfffttt fuck that shit, he took that way to make them pay more, not because he was worried about being shot at/ pulled out of his car at gun point.
MB– He told me he didn’t drive there. Here’s the thing, cab drivers are not allowed to refuse a fare. My point is, I was drunk, and I was taking a cab home, rather than driving. I COULD HAVE DRIVEN HOME DRUNK. Hmmmm…. public safety or cab driver too lazy to drive to out of his way and make less money…. There’s a reason why his license was suspended. Didn’t think that the cab business was that lucrative that they could pick and choose fares.
