Too many drunks taking taxis

Taxi services are getting so bad, because of passengers having to be in the same taxi with all the drunks. Have you been verbally abused, threatened, verbally sexually harassed by a drunk person in a taxi that you paid $5 for?

We need a better taxi service without getting all that shit from the drunks who they pick up while you are waiting for the taxi driver to bring you to your destination. They drive you all around trying to get other clients to the closest location.

All the taxis try to pick up as many people as they can so they can make money, even if the person is violently drunk and talking really loud and swearing in front of little kids. We parents need to get a better taxi service so the children won’t see violent and swearing ridiculous drunks in the same taxi.

The taxi picks you up, then picks up another one and drops off the customer that has the closest place and picks up another drunk at the bar or drops a drunk at the Legion first, while you are getting all the harassment from the drunk. The driver doesn’t do a thing about it even when there’s a little kid in the taxi.

Why don’t the customers complain about this when they get all the harassment? If we pay $5, we need a one-person service to our destination without any pick-ups or drop-offs.

The City of Iqaluit needs to get the taxi company to better their service. Seems like we are paying $5 to get harassed, especially when the children and kids get to see all the violence in the taxi.

The Legion and the Storehouse need to get their own taxis for their drunks. I hope the city council hears about this.
