The worst ever!!! I called the owner and asked how much from Hercules to El Cerrito..he said "it shouldn't be more than $35." Got into the taxi, & meter started, when we were halfway there, the meter said 28.00. While I was looking through my phone, I noticed the driver, & heard buttons being pressed on the meter, that meter went from 28.00 to 31.50 in less than 20 seconds!!!!! Mind you, the driver was speeding, so a third of the way there, I got a phone call, as soon as I answered my phone, thinking I was distracted, the driver started pressing buttons again, it was soon 37.00, by the time I got to destination, the meter read 44.00!!!! WTF?!?! I immediately called the owner, & he explained that his drivers would never do that! So I brought up the call I made to him, when he told me it shouldn't be more than $35, & he says to me "no $44 sounds about right".....straight BS!!! If you're desparate, call them, otherwise, public transportation like the bus or bart is the way to go. If you do decide to ride in one of their taxi cabs, keep your eye on the driver!!! I can see him looking in his rear view mirror to see what the passenger is doing, so keep your eyes on him or her!!! read more
