Flat Cab 4+

We had an early 6am pick up in Pearl District to PDX that required a van because we had a dog, dog crate and luggage. The can company tested us in advance of arrival , on time, spotless minivan, totally comfortable. It’s a dependable company ! Our 1st time. Not our last.

Now that we have taxi hailing apps to hail and pay for rides, there is no need to use those other companies like Uber and Lyft, that love to rip passengers off, when it comes to surge pricing. Taxi companies do not surge price at all. This is good, because why should anyone not want to support their local cab companies they love, instead of supporting a corporate owned company, that does this kind of nonsense. I used to support both Uber and Lyft, but ever since the pandemic hit, those companies, simply don’t care, about saving people money on their rides during difficult times. But taxi companies, on the other hand, are highly regulated, and are not supposed to raise rates, when it’s busy. I really think that this should be illegal, for both Uber and Lyft, to raise prices when it’s busy. But, I don’t know what will come of all of this. But this is why, I am happy that we now have taxi hailing apps, provided by our own local cab companies, to hail and pay for rides directly. My driver, Hussein, cab number 12, took me to plaid pantry, so I could go in and get a beverage, and dropped me right back to the meeting house apartments here in Sellwood, all for $10. All in all, please, and I will tell you, please support your local taxi industry, because they are prepared for disabilities, as well, unlike ridesharing folks. And prices, have become way more competitive, and a lot cheaper, then the ridesharing companies have become now. I am pleased, and I will continue to use this app, to hail and pay for taxis.
