A Meditation on Taxi Cabs in Hartford


Taxis are important. Without them, we wouldn't have the ability to shuttle our drunk and/or car-less butts around. To all of the taxi cab drivers in Hartford: thank you.

  1. The 666 cabs in Hartford fricken suck! Every time I've called them for a ride they haven't shown up. I only use Ace Taxi's now because they're reliable and their driver's tend to be pretty friendly.

  3. Hartford cabs absolutely suck. They're incredibly expensive and usually at least a little bit sketchy. I personally prefer the Hartford bus system to cabs.

  4. The 666 aren't Hartford cabs. They are Newington cabs. And yes, they are worst.

  5. Taxi operating in New York City, or any position is a service business. In the case of taxi driving, income is derived from one source, for two factors.

  6. Love the video Jumper,Awesome! Ace Taxi service is the best in town they're great,666 just seem not to care,hard to blame them whats they're hourly rate? As far as sketchy? if you want someone to pick you up in a Towncar and treat you like the world revolves around you,have your parents pick you up,these drivers are hustlin around town trying to make ends meet.

  7. Taxi is a nice source of transportation. Due to competition among different taxi companies, you can enjoy taxi ride at very low cost. Detroit airport taxi is a registered company and offering very low rates to its customers.
