The cab commission is supposed to respond to the complaints with in a week so I'm interested to see whether they take action or if the passengers bill of rights is just a bunch of BS. FU cabbie number 1103.
Amazing how Uber is gone for a coupe weeks and the cab service is right back to absolute ####. I cannot wait for Uber to be back.

I've had a similar experience with a cab in Calgary. Was coming out of a company Christmas party a couple years ago, -20 out. Was trying to find a cab to get to bridgeland for my wife and my friend and I. Spent 10 minutes walking down 8th ave from bankers almost to Olympic plaza, found one amongst the zoo. Opened the door and told the guy where we were going and he said not worth his time and to go away. I tried to calmly reason with him and say his ride would be 10-15 minutes for us, id tip him well, and he'd be back there in no time. He literally was shooing me and telling me to leave him alone. Needless to say, I got in a wicked screaming match with him.
Some cabbies are great. Some are terrible. I think Uber gives consumers an opportunity to do as they please. I used both in a recent trip to San Fran. Uber was obviously cheaper, but cabs down there were much more professional. Just my experience.
