I called a yellow cab at around 11:00 PM - I told them that I wanted to be picked up on the cross streets by the Blockbuster. They refused to pick me up because I did not have an exact address. i was calling from my cell phone so I could not get the exact address. I wanted to be picked up close to the bus stop and taken home - I have a severe safety situation - I am being stalked and have a protection order out. I complained to the dispatcher about it - and he was extremely argumentitive and insensitive - he asked "so what do you want me to do about it?" - "We are not responsible for your safety" - etc. I told them in the discussion that they would be negligent if anything happened. . He said that I could not be held responsible that I would have to go after the guy who attacked me. I am afraid to enter my building. He kept engaging me and took issue with me saying "you guys". Now I hardly ever argue with customer service people - most of them really like me and I have made some friends with managers and baristas at coffee shops. I could not understand why they would be so inflexible and rude - I will never use that taxi service again for any reason.
Pros: often on time
Cons: Rudeness of dispatchers - inflexibility on exact addresses - will not let me identify business

I was in Seattle on business and decided to take a couple of extra days and sight see with my husband. When it came time to leave, we grabbed the first cab we saw, Yellow Cab. It was run down and we almost turned it away but we had a flight to catch so we went for it. The cab driver didn't seem to know where we were going, either. Then, the cab driver started fiddling with the gearshift, threw the car in reverse and caused us to have a SERIOUS car accident. He lost control of the car and crashed into the median. Thankfully after a rushing the doctor to get out of the ER we were sent home (barely making our flight, THANK YOU HIGHLINE MED CENTER). Aside from the negligent driving of the cab, it was a worn down vehicle and the driver seemed as if he didnt know where he was going or anything. We got out of yellow cab with our lives and we're thankful. We had to take another cab to the airport from the hospital and the nurse gave us Island Cab. We got into a decent cab and the driver was more confident. (not that I was in any shape to appreciate it). NEVER EVER AGAIN will I go in a yellow cab in any city or state!!!! If I could give negative stars then I would.
Pros: none
Cons: everything
