They have a lot of cabs around with a minimum fare of $8, even if you're only going five blocks. Most, if not all, of the drivers are Dominican and don't speak English at all, so there may be a language barrier if you're not bilingual. But they do know very well how to tell you the fare amount. This is probably due to a large influx of Dominican immigrants in the Bronx. The cars vary from old to late models, but I've noticed a majority of them have invested in Toyota Camrys. The fares seems to be consistent, but I did experience one early morning while rushing to the airport, when I asked the driver how much to LaGuardia Airport, he told me $60, when it's actually $50. He probably saw I was in a rush and tried to capitalize on it, but that's no excuse to try and beat someone. So I just told him to take me to 125th Street to catch the M60-SBS. LOL (his loss) All in all, they are usually on time; hardly ever gives more than a 3-4 minute wait. So when they say 2 minutes, you better be at the curb in 1.5 mins or they'll leave.

I called the dispatcher who told me it was my problem and I had to solve it by finding my own way to my destination. he blamed me for getting into the wrong cab and hung up on me several times. I asked to speak to a supervisor, he told me no several times. both driver and dispatcher were yelling at me about finding my own way to my destination. they kept accuse me of being the one to get into the wrong cab but the cab matched the description and picked me up in front of my door. the driver parked for 20 minutes arguing with me and agreeing with the dispatcher about my culpability. I convinced him to take me back home so I can call another cab service. I cried while in the back seat watching as my dog was having convulsions. I missed my vet appointment. I wasted over an hour with these inhumane gentlemen who never offered another cab or to take me to the correct address. it was the most traumatic experience I've ever had with a car service.

Now, the station services the 2 and 5 trains, where the lines further going into The Bronx split to either head to Dyre Avenue or Wakefield-241st Street. Its street level provides opportunity to change platforms and it's also ADA compliant, which is great because this station is one of the closest to The Bronx Zoo!
