Prince George Taxi not involved in incident Print E-mail

IN STORY NEWS
An article on the front page of Friday’s Citizen stated, “A Prince George taxi driver has been charged with attempted murder.”
As our company’s name is Prince George Taxi and we control more than 90 per cent of the taxi market in Prince George, this article might give the impression that this was one of our taxi drivers. The individual referred to in this article was not driving for our company.
We value the safety of both our drivers and our customers. This type of negative publicity tarnishes both our image and reputation. Again for the record, this incident did not involve Prince George Taxi or a Prince George Taxi driver.

What Reputation!!!!!

What reputation are you referring to because my experience with your drivers or at least some of your drivers have not been very good. Not to mention some of of the questionable behavior I have seen. I very rarely take a cab because of the poor service and even when dealing with your dispatch people can be a horrible experience.

I've only taken a taxi about 4 times in the last few years, but I do not remember which company they were with. I do know though, that on 3 of these occasions I was just waiting for us to be in an accident.

Now maybe I am just too much of a backseat driver, but I DID speak up and told the taxi driver to slow down. We were doing about 65/70 in a 50 area and I was not comfortable with that. Also on 2 of these occasions.... yellow lights meant green to them.

I took taxis 2 times a day (to and from work) for well over a year and i switched from this particular company because when their computer system first came out i called to get picked up for work and i patiently waited for 45 minutes and then went back in to see what was taking so long only to be told they didnt even have me on there. "We are just getting used to our new system" So due to your reputation i switched to the OTHER company who was awesome.

So as much as i get WHY you feel the need to cover your butt Sam, you dont have THAT great of a rep and i assure you, you are not 90%.
