My cab company allegiances in Brisbane were weak until I discovered the Yellow Cabs Brisbane iPhone…read moreapp. The thing is a godsend. I don't catch a lot of cabs, but I downloaded the app when I first stumbled across it almost a year ago, and then its true test came the night of the Brisbane Festival 2011 Riverfire. All the cab phone lines were engaged and I was desperate, when I remembered the app. I plugged in a login (I advise you sign up when you first get the app, to save you a bit of time when you actually need a cab), clicked "iHail", entered a destination... and grinned like a kid with a lollipop when my cab showed up less than five minutes later. I could hardly believe it. I've used the app ever since, every time I've needed a cab (including rounding up friends at New Years, another "all phone lines engaged" situation). I've also converted a number of friends to it, by using it when I'm with them, basically letting the service sell itself. Cabs show up so quickly every time - you don't have the luxury of finishing your make-up or your coffee. Plug your request in and then get out to the footpath. You can also see on a map where your cab is when it accepts your booking, you can view past jobs and duplicate them for new bookings if they're for the same addresses, and you can find your closest Yellow Cabs ranks. What's even better is knowing that the app company, Mobile Tracking and Data Pty Ltd, supports a cab company in almost every capital city (not always Yellow Cabs).

After an hour and no cab I called again and there is no booking so I asked to speak with a person who told me that yeah after an hour the booking just cancels but they don't inform you so your still waiting for a cab. Had the audacity to ask if I wanted to book again whats the point you just told me Townsville has only 1 car. Not worth it

However, beware that in the evening after 6pm this is less likely. Additionally, the phone box to Yellow cab near the bus stop does not always work. I recommend having a phone number on hand if you're going to be waiting here for cabs after business hours.
