taxi

[sparkgrrl658.livejournal.com]

if, before i get up in five hours or so, you have a rec for a decent cab company and would like to leave the number in the comments, that would be swell.

i don't need anything fancy, i just need to get from arlington to cambridgeport in the late morning, paying cash, no luggage or critters or special setups. it's just that i always seem to have the WORST luck in just picking a number out of the yellow pages.

thanks!

I thought the OP said that she needs to be picked up in Arlington?

That may be a problem. When I used to take cabs they were allowed to drop you off anywhere but could only pick up within their "home" city/town. I assume that Green/Yellow Cabs have Somerville as their home city.

Having said that, I think that some cab companies "make exceptions"...

The Rules

If you call them on the phone, they are allowed to come pick you up at your location no matter what town you are in. They are not allowed to go driving around in towns outside of their home town and pick up people off the curb who are hailing a taxi.

Correct.
