Ithaca Dispatch is generally overpriced: a single 4-mile trip cost me $24.50 (not including tip)! That's far more than even big-city prices. (The same amount of money in Washinton, D.C., would have paid for, at minimum, a 10-12 mile trip...) However, they DO seem pretty reliable, safe, and prompt, the large majority of the time.\r

Special Note: Contrary to what the other reviewer mentioned, regarding the Green Hornet taxi company -- although the Green Hornet is cheap, it also seems HIGHLY unreliable. I waited over 1 1/4 hours in 20 degree weather at 11:00 p.m. for a taxi that never showed up (even after calling them 3 separate times to follow up). Moreover, the driver I spoke to seemed slow and/or confused, not to mention infuriatingly unapologetic.
Pros: Largely Quick & Reliable
Cons: Overpriced
