taxi

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 have taken Green Cab

[nvidia99999.livejournal.com]

about 250 times (really) during the last 3 years. Still cheaper than owing a car. I even have my regular drivers who keep coming because I tip well. 99% of the time, the guys know the neighborhood very well and know the shortest routes. The younger ones at times are a bit clueless, but they learn fast. Never had any real problems. Also, going to Logan or South Station, you call them the day before and they come at the agreed upon time SHARP. More than once, they even got there 5 minutes early at 4AM, but quietly waited outside. These guys are reliable!

Thanks.

I may have need of a 5 am cab on Weds (dang shift work). What's the number you use to reach this magical cab service?

617.625.5000. They have other numbers too.

You can book the day before for a particular time if you go to the airport or train/bus station. Otherwise you just call them up and they come to your place (usually, within 10 minutes; I live not to far from Elephant Walk).

Thank you. You may have saved my husband from an oh-dark-thirty wake up to drive me to work.

I'll try the Booking the Day Before trick, because I don't know how coherent I will be the day of.
