All I see in this thread is a bunch of pissed off people complaining about the brutal taxi service in this city that are willing to accept any means of correcting the situation even if it means breaking bylaws, and 2 people posting the same BS over and over again (half of which isn't even applicable to Calgary) without any consideration of why people are as pissed off as they are. As I said before, they are either contrarians looking to spend days arguing with the majority on an internet site, or they have some sort of stake in the cab companies.
To sit here and suggest there isn't an issue with the taxi industry in Calgary is nothing short of asinine. It's like arguing that the world isn't round.

Honestly, three years ago I would have agreed. Within the last year and a half there has been a huge improvement in being able to at least find taxis even during busy events. I have no stake and have even argued with resolute in this thread pro Uber but the cab situation is not as dire as it once was.
If you can't find or hail a cab these days, it's on you.
