Yellow Cab

These guys wonder why everyone takes Über! Why is it every time I get in a can they ask me if I want to take the freeway or Lincoln to get to Santa Monica?
Isn’t it their job to know the quickest way?
Today the guy went all the way up Century to get the 405… why not go Sepulveda to the 405? I can guess
Never again… Über is the best

Rude. Drive like maniacs. Then complain out loud to you when you want to pay via CC. Standard tip amounts also invite verbal complaints. Use über

Yellow cab is not good. If I could choose negative stars I would.
However, I had a very positive experience with Independent Taxi: the woman who took my call was professional and efficient. A confirmation text message was promptly sent to my phone. Within a few minutes the cab arrived. Yes! This is how it should work.
This positive experience was sharply contrasted with the negative experience I had with yellow cab. DO NOT USE yellow cab. Independent Taxi is the way to go.
With yellow cab I called the night before to arrange for my 4 am cab. The dispatcher told me «we are 24 hours call back in the morning.» I called back in the morning to arrange a cab to LAX… the dispatcher took several minutes to answer the phone. When he finally did it sounded like he had been asleep (nbd, but not professional). He took my info but when I called back to confirm south Figueroa st, rather than north, he said, «ma’am just go outside there are tons of cabs in downtown LA.» I had already been standing outside for 5 minutes… at 4 am not many cars or people where I was. I asked if he was going to order a car for me, because if not I would simply call someone else. He said he would. I waited another 10 minutes for the yellow cab that never came… and then I called independent taxi.
The two experiences could not have been more different: independent taxi = good. Yellow cab = bad.

You suck! Wish I had the name of the driver but he brought me to Culver City yesterday from the International Terminal at LAX at approx 1:45 pm. Worst driver ever– honking and obnoxious. Stinky car– gross POS.

Called at 440am requesting a 5am pick up to airport. I was surprised they showed up since the dispatcher sounded asleep.
Driver was prompt and courteous!
