They lead the way in overcharging customers. In fact, this taxi service will charge you more for a trip from the Eastern Iowa Airport to the edge of Marion (less than 20 miles) than you would be charged going from Chicago O'Hare to the loop in moderately heavy traffic. \r
Why is that? Well, it's the inverse of supply and demand, in part. Lower demand -- and an abundance of taxi drivers sitting around doing nothing -- means they need to charge people more for doing less during their shifts.\r
For the captive audience that taxis rely on in Cedar Rapids (not the drunks, but the elderly, handicapped, etc.), please look into getting help from the LIFTS bus, from Aging Services, from your friends and family. Save yourselves from paying these exorbitant rates!!!
