Checker Yellow Cabs Ltd provides safe, quick and convenient taxi rides throughout the Calgary area. Our city wide service includes everyday transportation, airport shuttle service, wheelchair-accessible vans as well as transportation for special occasions. We also cater to corporate accounts.
Checker's drivers are extremely rude and unprofessional, the stench in their cars is enough to make one gag, and as if all that isn't enough, they're also openly racist. An Indigenous corporate client of mine needed to catch a cab from the airport at around 7 AM. They were denied and verbally abused not once, but twice - by two separate drivers - because they did not wish to pay up front.
To Whom
For the most part great service when you get your couple regular drivers! Must add though.....cab # 775 the driver always asks where to turn even after you tell him several times! His car is never clean inside! Dusty and dirty seats,dry mud on the floor! The driver himself seems polite as have had him a few times,but his knowlage of the city is very poor! Even for such a short trip like ours!
I called for a cab at my place near Southland Safeway. Never spoke to a person, just an automated answering service that said to push 1 to order a standard taxi, and then one was booked for me. The driver called me from Whitehorn Safeway. I haven’t lived in the NE for three years... Well done, Checker. Maybe invest back in some real people at your office?
Tues Apr 24/18 ordered cab night before for 7:30 a.m., appt South Calgary Eye Centre--7:40 am, not here, phoned Yellow, said on the way, then arrived, driving slowly & looking puzzled for my address. (Lions Village) told him 5340 1st St SW & bldg name. Driver asked how do I drive there.Gave a suggestion, driver took another route, slow on 13 Ave SW, stop signs every block, to Macleod Tr. Very Dirty Windshield, hard to see. Senior discount quoted 5% - I experienced stress before specialist appt.
Worst service ever. Almost every time I call for a taxi its late or goes to the wrong adress. Not at all a reliable way of transportation if youre trying to get to work on time.
