This is what a taxi service should be like! This driver was prompt and courteous and very friendly--we had a nice chat about American football on the way to my appointment. I asked him to return in an hour and to meet me at the pub across the road.
I was in a job interview and the employer happened to be extremely chatty and I was there well over an hour and wasn't able to let the cabbie know I was running late. He went to the pub to collect me and when I didn't show up, he came back to the office building where I was dropped off and patiently waited for me to come out. And when I finally did, he was just as cheerful as before. He could have easily left since I was so late and couldn't reply to his text, or at the least, started the meter up while he was waiting, but he did neither. After bad experiences with other taxi services, it was refreshing to find one so helpful. read more
