SO here is my Rant..Rgarding the cab company's out of Waterville Maine..
Pine Tree cab company, is committing HIGHWAY ROBBERY to the community that uses them for services.
I called 3 local companies, got a price check from Casey's on College Avenue in Waterville to Walgreens in Waterville (across from the Fire Station)
Pine Tree Cab-$7.00
Elite Cab-$5.00
Lynn's cab-$5.50
I asked the dispatcher at Pine Tree if I could speak with a manager, she responded that she was the manager, but refused to give me her name, but said The City of Waterville dictated what the cab companies charge..and then she hung up on me..I then called and spoke with a clerk at City Hall, AFTER I spoke with someone in the Mayors office about this...the clerk I spoke with, Sarah, said that the City of Waterville DOES NOT REGULATE TAXI CAB FEES, and they have not for MANY YEARS, cab companies charge whatever they want. She even Saud about going to the website www.cityofwaterville.org, and type in Ordinance on Taxi Cabs..
I re called Pine Tree Cab, and due to caller ID, they didn't answer, but I was able to leave a voice mail, to which I left them the information I'd just researched, and informed them they were committing HIGHWAY ROBBERY, on a town that has many people on A Fixed Income, that utilize cabs for shopping, doctors appointments ect..and I was going to blast all the local businesses that has a Face Book Page, or a web site, as well as YELP, with this information...
How dare a cab company that a community supports as a small business, do this!!! PLEASE SHARE, and Stop this Cab company from robbing our locals.
P.S. Pine Tree even called my number back, and NEVER SAID A WORD, after I'd answered, as I thought it may be the owner responding to the voice mail I had left. read more
