I FUCKIN HATE YOU!!! Thanks for making me wait out in the cold for an hour and a half the other night. And thanks for making me run up and down 4 flights of stairs with a broken foot to call your ass 5 times! This rude dispatch bitch keeps telling me 2 more minutes… the driver is 2 minutes away! BULLSHIT!! Up and down the stairs some more… This went on for an hour and a half… Just to eventually get hung up on and made to stay home. I’ve been a paying customer for a long fucking time and have always tipped your greasy drivers even the pervy middle eastern guy who rubbernecks/oogles me in the backseat instead of watching the road and the bearded ZZ top lookin bastard with the bad attitude whose never heard of snow tires. I even tipped the skinny cranky crackhead guy who is just frankly scary. Love to know what fucking back woods area you drug these creepers from—even your dispatcher is a rude BITCH. Must be the owners fishwife. You guys SUCK DONKEY BALLS. There is no reason for this. It’s not even New Years Eve! For the love of Gawd, someone PLEASE start up a competing cab company. These bastards can charge retarded rates and treat us like crap because they know we have no other options in the HRM. I’m sure there are thousands of people who’d love the opportunity to give their money to someone else because these guys are ASSHOLES! —Buying a Car

Second bitch in as many weeks to use the word “fishwife”. I *mouse ears* this rumbustious trend towards the use of archaic words.
When you say “monopoly” are you referring to the company that dominates the darkside, nudge nudge, wink wink, Bob’s yer uncle?
“the other night”? Am i right to assume you’re talking about New Year’s Eve?
Just wanting to make sure that was a known thing…..
I booked my cabs in advance for new year’s eve. Because i think ahead.
oh i read “it was new years eve” but you said “it’s not EVEN new year’s eve” so that’s something different.
So after i get my new glasses, remind me to tell you some stories about bob’s taxi. they’re the closest thing to the mafia this city has.
Breakaway… independent and he’s a nice fella to boot
OB, time to buy a car.
Of this is the Dartmouth cab company, it’s the owners daughter… probably someone elses fishwife 🙂 I’ve had “dealings” with her too, I don’t take cabs any longer… too many child molester types driving the things who cop an attitude with the customer at every given opportunity. I agree with you OP, fuck that
Sounds like Bob’s.
Is it possible that the cab came and left during one of your trips up the stairs? Or that the cab was trying to call you while you were calling back? That happens. You gotta be patient. My friend got a cab the other night, before new years, took a while but they eventually came.
They do need some competition though.
A) You live in Dartmouth
B) You live in a walk-up
C) You have a broken foot
All the above prove you cannot afford a car!
ITs not just Dartmouth.
ITs the entire Halisux,Bedford ,Cole harbour area.
The cab rules & cab enforcement regulations of who drives where & how you can get a permit etc….well bullshit is the only way to describe it.
If you could get rid of the regulations & just open it up, the market would determine the amount of cab’s in that area.
I have to say there is a local cab company out here in the Enfield, Elmsdale, Lantz area (more than 1 actually) but the one I use are really good & if you book a pick up time in advance , even if its 5 in the morning, they’ll be there !
If you break your foot you cannot afford a car? LOL! 😀
I never got the rules of cabs in HRM or the number of roof lights allowed any more than I understood having to go to court once when I got lost in Ottawa and a cab from Kanata picked me up and he got stopped for doing a good deed…
So people in Dartmouth can’t afford cars? Funny, the parking lot in my building is full of them. As are the roads. Those people must all live in Halifax.
What’s with those cab companies in Halifax that no one has ever heard of? They might as well be called “RAPE TAXI”. I usually see them parked in front of Park Lane. I saw one today called something like “Amyooey” or something. No thanks. I’ll wait for Casino.
I rarely take cabs, so I really have no comment but I’ll say it anyway.
Yes, the “fishwife” jumped out at me as well Sod Orff. Coincidence? I think not!
“RAPE TAXI” >: 0
Depeche Mel – For.The.Win.
I once saw a cab for a company called something along the lines of Affordable or Economy or some such and the cab was a new-ish Lincoln. I lol’d at the irony.
I’m trying to come up with a good jingle for RAPE TAXI but the Casino jingle keeps getting in the way
Roofie Taxi – we got your number.
We’ll leave you naked in a ditch.
That’s Roofie Taxi, we’re the masked ones.
Call 469-That Shit Is Sick
(or 425-You’ll Suck My D***)
Disclaimer: Even I found this to be in questionable taste. I blame society.>: (
LOL, Ivan and Mel.
I have a friend who was sexually assaulted by a cabbie. Not sure which company she used, but it was late night and she was coming home from downtown. She wasn’t drunk, not that that matters, but I think people think it makes it somewhat more ‘acceptable’ or something.
She took him to court and he was convicted. Brave girl! I was so proud of her!
Yellow Cab or Casino for me kthx. (and I’ve even had some great drivers w/bob’s taxi).
I’ve never really had a bad cab experience. Most of the drivers I’ve had were super nice.
Damn Straight about the “Brave girl” Good for her. And I agree, her state of sobriety was irrelevant. That shit is NEVER acceptable. I’ll say this about cabbies – I would not want their job with it’s attendant risks. There aren’t many professions where the pendulum swings so far. From Great Guy on the one extreme to Scum Of The Earth at the other.
I wish *I* was in a cab right now… a cab on my way home.
HAHA SEE WHAT I DID THERE?
>: )

That;s really scary PK. That was really brave of her… I wish I had that kind of courage.
For the most part, I’ve had good experiences with Casino. I’ve been asked out, asked to dinner and given cards to be someones “girlfriend” a few times, but that’s it haha
hay pf, how as nfld?
*was*
buses don’t go out your way?
carshare won’t work for you?
avoid taking taxi’s like the plague…
they’re overpriced, listen like Ray Charles, and could very well be more hammered than you are at the time.
It was fantastic PG!! Thanks for asking 🙂 How was your Christmas?
very relaxing, new years was better ’cause the boy and his squeeze came to visit. they are here til tomorrow
