Yellow Cab Getting service to be picked up

So I travel around the same neighborhood and can't walk to far with my bags anymore bc of an injury my fair is usually around 5 to ten dollars I realize this isn't a lot but I always tip up to five dollars every time lately since the cab drivers become more failure with me bc it carries a record when you start to frequent the service none of the cab drivers will accept my fare saying it's not worth it and bc it's a small fare they pass in it so I have to wait hours or sometimes they won't send one at all I think you should watch and keep a min fare if this is the case of choice by your employees bc otherwise the working little guy doesn't get served just the aristocrat... Very discriminating as well bc of the amount I didn't know taxi was a biding service now I do

Desired outcome: Don't discriminate bc my fare is small moneys money

Yellow Cab Food left in taxi cab

September 4, 2020

Virginia Walker

I called a yellow taxi cab at 213-627-7000 at approximately 11:30 a.m. from 5824 So. Vermont Ave. Los Angeles, CA, Superior Market. The cab arrived at approximately 12:20 p.m. I believe the cab number was #365 or 635; I am not sure. When I arrived home at 122 1/2 E. 65th Street. I removed my groceries out of the back of the taxi cab and paid the driver. As I was going back to the car to pick up the water I left in the car, I asked the driver if there were anymore groceries in the back of his car and he said no.

I paid $12 for some fried chicken I bought from Louisiana Fried Chicken that was in the back of the taxi cab with the rest of my groceries. I put the groceries up after entering my house and the fried chicken was missing, so I called the Yellow Taxi Cab Co. about 12:48 p.m. and I spoke with Anita about the missing chicken. I told Anita that I asked the driver before I went into my residence if there was anything else in the back of the car and he said no, but my chicken is missing. Anita called the driver and she said that she called him at least three times and he would not respond, so I asked her to please ask him to bring my chicken back before it spoils in the back of his car when she could get in touch with him. I called back in a few minutes and I spoke with Vanessa; I told Vanessa what I told Anita.

Vanessa said she would call the driver. Vanessa called the driver and she said that he said there was no food in the back of his car, but I know there was because I had my own cart, we took the food out of my cart when we were at Superior Market, 5824 So. Vermont Ave., and put them in the back of his car along with my shopping cart. Everything we put in the back of his car, I have at home but the fried chicken I bought from Louisiana Fried Chicken is missing. I would like the chicken back that I believe he kept, or I would like to be reimbursed for it please.

In all my years of taking a taxi cab, I have never had anything like this happen to me. I bought the chicken for my dinner and now I must buy more dinner because the chicken is missing.

You may contact me at [protected]; my address is 122 1/2 E. 65th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90003, and my Mailing Address is P.O. Box 470802, Los Angeles, CA 90047; my email address is [protected]@sbcglobal.net.

Yellow Cab Arrival of minicabs was not on-time

It's not a complain, probably I want to appreciate them for the effective service which usually they used to give me. I have booked a taxi at a peak time of about 20 mins before from Croydon to Heathrow. I haven't booked it earlier as to how every time I used t book in advance, based on their service I thought they might provide me on-time but they were late by 10 mins. At last, the driver was of good nature with a smooth journey I reached to the airport. Finally, I just want as same as how I used to get earlier.

Yellow Cab Yellow cab driver richard tyler

Richard Tyler has been harassing myself as well as my children and my boyfriend while using the company yellow cab . He has appeared at my place of work entered and made threats. He has pulled up in the cab and yelled threats outside of my boyfriends job. He has appeared at my sons job and made threats as well as called my workplace constantly threatening me .
He has also used the company to extort income . He receives social security and claims to make only $300 a month with the cab so that he can maintain social security benefits and dodge child support . He says the company gives him no evidence of income . However he posts that he makes $1, 000 a week on the cab and also uses it to traffic marijuana . I suggest to protect your company from further liability you have a talk with your employee . I have an attorney already investigating all aspects of this case.

Yellow Cab Taxi

On the night of Saturday, November 23rd, 2019 I had the worst experience with a cab driver. I had called to take a cab home (didn't live very far, it was dark, and I was carrying a heavy load of laundry). I didn't want to walk home in the dark, carrying said load of laundry. I come out of the apartment complex (neighbor let me use her washer/dryer to do my laundry), looking for the cab.

While I should have stayed where I was, he drives over to the other building, then sees I'm not over there (I came out of the second building), drives round and doesn't even come where I'm standing. I of course ran after the cab to try and flag him down. Keep in mind that I was also carrying my laundry while trying to flag the driver down. The cab leaves, I call him as he called me prior to say that he's on his way. Ok then.

He has the audacity to yell at me over the phone about not answering my phone. I almost to the point of telling myself, told him that I was looking for him and trying to flag him down. So he comes back (he left at this point), and when he picked me up, drives recklessly, and he was just awful. Being in that can made me want to puke because of the way he drove, driving up upon a curb, and I felt like I was going to upchuck.i got out of that cab feeling so damn angry. It was the worst and last experience I have had dealing with yellow cab.

Drivers like the one I dealt with on Saturday make the cab drivers who are actually kind and considerate look bad. This is why people despise taking cabs, because the drivers are so bloody rude. It's why I avoid taking a cab whenever possible. Cab #185, Yellow Cab in Des Moines, Iowa.

Yellow Cab Taxi cab k227 was dangerous near a scooter nearby

Taxi cab K227 was dangerous near a scooter nearby.
When I moved in out of the way he went by me and yelled get the [censored] out of my way. This happened on September 18 6:30 PM in the San Francisco Embarcadero ferry building area 1 Market St. I was traveling down market Street after work and the cab decided to go around me. I saw him in my rearview mirror and had no other place to pull over so I sped up to get in front of him so I could get over to the other side when doing so he went by and yelled explicatives to me as previously mentioned. This is rude and unprofessional it really sets up a bad situation for public riders who ride bicycles and scooters so they could be looked at as targets. There was a time when you could call the business owner or company and complain about a driver service. Now that they are individually least yellow cab gets to collect their share of the price and does not monitor their drivers behavior or care about how they represent themselves to the company. This is not the first rude yellow cab driver I have encountered.

Yellow Cab License plate 23372u1's driver

Dear Service Center Manager,

I am sorry that I have to complain about the service your company provided to me on 07/25/19!

I was riding a taxi with a license plate of 23372U1. The driver was asked to send us to S Van Ness from SFO. In the process of delivery, the driver constantly switched lanes, which made us feel very unsafe. We had to remind him that we were not in a hurry! But he still went all the way.

What's even worse is that he took the 280 instead of 101, This not only delayed the time we got home, but also made us pay dollars more. We paid 52 dollars. Usually from the airport to 140 S VanNess only costs about $35. If he did it on purpose, what is the difference between this and stealing or robbery?

When we asked him why he was detouring, he actually answered 101 had a big car accidents. But the fact is, 07/25/2019 noon from 12:08 to 12:49, there is no car accident on 101! This dishonesty is disgusting.

We are complaining about this matter with the trust of your company. We hope that your company can take corresponding measures and compensate us for the loss in this service. Otherwise, we will go to the Consumer Association for further complaints!

Thank

Yellow Cab Rude driver fails to comply with parking/security protocols

Hello. I am a security guard located at12171 a Katy Freeway filing a complaint in regards to the cab driver in unit 1501. the individual pulled into our parking lot and stopped. when one of the officers in question approach the vehicle she refused to cooperate and was very negative and rude towards this officer. when asked what was going on with her vehicle on the property she refused to cooperateor comply with being asked to leave the premises as she had no business in the area. she also refused to give her name but we got the number off of the side of the vehicle that she drove off. all this took place around 4:57 a.m. I am hoping some form of disciplinary action is taken against this individual as it is very unbusinesslike to have people riding around with your namesake giving a negative impression of your company. thank you for your time.

Yellow Cab Wreckless driving

I was almost directly hit by a speeding YellowCab driver #32 at the stoplight at the intersection of BYP 250 Eastbound and Rugby Rd / Hydraulic Rd. This driver was going extremely fast and I literally had to move out of the way in order to avoid a serious rear-end collision. Had I not been looking in my rear view mirror, I wouldn't have a vehicle right now.

Yellow Cab Healthcare violation

On 6/20/19 @ 9:50 p.m., the above Yellow Cub Pizza Co. is operating without any water supply. This is very unsanitary & not safe to all workers & customers. Accdg. to staff named Gen - there was a water interruption since 9 p.m., but there was no emergency water supply available. You should have closed this pizza parlor once you've learned of the water interruption. You can have a CITATION from this incident.

Yellow Cab Unreliable service

Over the weekend I placed a request for service, and was told that a driver would pick me up in a half hour. An hour went by, and nobody showed or even called.
I made other arrangements and will continue to do so.
Yellow Cab, you let me down.

There is no other resolution than a cash payment to me, as one is not possible because the need has passed.
But if Yellow Cab wants to pay me at least $500.00 and apologize, I will gladly accept the money. And if they ask nicely, I might even look into having this complaint removed, if it isn't too much trouble.

Other cash offers will be considered, as an offer for free service is obviously out of the question.

Yellow Cab Rudeness of representative

I was walking one day when I suddenly started to have chest pains and severe dizziness. When I was almost home, I suddenly began to faint and then passed out. I woke up and the neighbor was standing there. I was stressed out and disoriented from the fainting spell. So the fire department came and asked if I wanted to go to the ER. Well I did and they said it was from over-exertion. So once I was out, my insurance company didn't pick up, so I asked for help from my housemate who agreed to pay for a cab ride. I called and told them that I was at the Summa Akron City Hospital. They kept interrupting me and hanging up on me without letting me tell them which address I was at. My blood pressure was rising. So after about 4 times, an employee wrote down the name of the hospital (to which the representative said that I was not saying it was) and so I called again for the 5th time and didn't let them speak to tell them where I was at. The man was very rude and impatient with me and because of him, my nerves we're shot that night. I was embarrassed to use this company.

To make matters worse, I'm disabled with both mental and physical disabilities that make it hard to function in this world. With this rudeness, I was wanting to raise awareness of Vasovagal episodes. They're pretty serious because if people don't understand why we get disoriented from these, things can take a worse turn. Stress is one of the worst things that can kill a person. It isn't so much the fact that these people have to make money, it's that they're not willing to care about their passengers' health after being told that they're in the hospital for being I'm the ER from such a thing.

Yellow Cab Unethical behavior

I am a student. I am crossing a pedestrian with the walk sign indicated. An Erie yellow driver decides that he wants to make a left turn to try to hit me. I was mere inches from a trip to the hospital or even death! This is a driver that could be charged with attempt manslaughter!

Should the yellow cab company in Erie be investigated? They continue to have poor reviews, and yet they seem unwilling to change how the customers view them.

Yellow Cab Driving

I was taking my dog for a walk and almost home when driver J602 came driving down my street at nearly 50 mph in a posted 30 residential. I shined my flashlight on my dog so that he would see us since we were on the same side of the street. This guy turns on his bright lights and slammed his brakes on as he passed us with me yelling at him to slow down, he drives down and turned around to come back and yell at me. He pulled up next to us asking what my problem was and I told him he needed to slow the hell down, he then started telling me to [censored] off. I approached his cab and told him to get out and do something about it, he picked up a maglight flashlight from next to his seat and started waving it at me, as if to hit me with it. He continued to cuss me so I picked up my shirt to display my 45 since he had just threatened me with his flashlight. After I showed my gun he called 911 and told them I was waving my gun around. I then grabbed the cab sign off the side of his car and told him I was calling his employer, he got even more irate. I took his magnetic sign and placed it on my truck, walked into my house, took the gun out of my belt, went into the kitchen and took 2 shots to calm down and went back up to the street where the cops were waiting in force (5 uniformed officers with assault weapons) I didn't even say anything to them, I just handed 1 my drivers license and concealed weapons license and waited for them.

So I told my side of the story and right in the middle of it a lady who lives down the street came up and said " I saw the entire thing and got it on video " I don't know her, the cops even asked if we knew each other.

In the end, this guy has no business driving people around with that kind of mental problems. The police told me to have a good night and handed my licenses back, I pointed at the cabbie and told him I didn't need to see him around ever again and he told me I wouldn't.

I am happy to go visit my neighbor for a copy of the video if anyone wants to see it.

Yellow Cab Overcharged by yellow cab driver.

Went 13 miles and was charged 80$. With normal bills it should not be more than 40$ with tips included. Please take some action so he can not scam other people like this.

And he wasn't agreeing to take any less. Being a lady I had to give him that amount. Didn't want any trouble. But feels bad to be scammed.

All I could get is his license plate number. If that is helpful.

Yellow Cab Over pricing and compulsion

I needed a taxi from 87 Acquarium Way Long Beach to Anaheim. Yellow can 1162 arrived and asked after I gave my destination what method I would pay. Within 12 mins of the journey he stopped the clock said he was giving a flat rate of $75 but he would keep the timer running so I see he is not overcharging. He said if there was a difference he would pay be back cash.
He asked me to pay now with my card. He also said he needed to pick up someone else in the destination area so he can make more money as it's hard to make money.
I made the payment by credit card which was approved. I asked him if it's normal to insist that persons pay before they reach their destination. He said yes.
I know he changed the route for getting me to my destination so it appeared more. The Amount on the clock when I arrived at destination was $80+. This was highway robbery and as a visitor who has no knowledge of what price is reasonable, this taxi driver is to be reprimanded. I also seek remuneration of $15.
