Taxi companies provide lousy service to Apex

I am writing because I live in Apex and I always have to wait for cabs every morning, and I always end up waiting for more than half an hour.

I noticed that Apex is just a volunteer call. I thought that, a few years ago, they were going to better their service. I think it has gotten worse!

Also, when I am in town, I call a cab, and then the cab comes and I tell them I am going to Apex and they say, “Ah, did you tell the dispatcher that you are going to Apex?”

I say, “No” and then he tells me the next time you call a cab, tell them you are going to Apex. Then they drive to Apex, too fast, and complaining about it.

One Saturday night, I was trying to take a cab and I told the driver that I was going to Apex. There were two other people in the cab, who were both going to the old residence and he told us that he was not going to take three of us and that one of us would have to get off, so I got off!

I went into another cab and the driver told me that it was a busy hour and that he was not going to Apex, so I got out again. Luckily there was someone in a Skidoo who gave me a ride.
