My friend and i called a different taxi service saturday night 2/2/07 and were picked up but a Metro Yellow Taxi. Apparently this particullar driver listens in on other company's radio frequencies and steals their clients. This driver(taxi #75, black, male around 30 with a thick accent) REFUSED TO LET US INTO THE VEHICLE until we showed him cash! He then REFUSED TO BUDGE until we paid him a flat non-negotiable rate! HE OVERCHARGED US! ($35 for under 8 miles-no traffic)(7.6: I later mapquested it) HE SPED on the freeway! (85mph in a 65 zone) TURNED THE METER OFF! to avoid recording the trip and correct price! when we reached our destination we communicated to him that we knew he was attempting to overcharge us and we respectfully requested at least a partial refund. HE REFUSED AND ORDERED US TO "GET OUT!" of the vehicle. HE WAS RUDE, IRRESPONSIBLE, AND UNLAW-ABIDING!!! this is my first time(and probably last) with this particullar taxi company and I hope this was a isolated incident and that Metro Yellow Cab is not prone to hiring such unworthy drivers. I WILL BE SURE TO AVOID THIS TAXI SERVICE IN THE FUTURE AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT ONLY THOSE WHO WISH TO TAKE A RISK!
Pros: the ride was fast
Cons: everything else
