Houston taxi service is well known for
providing computerized dispatch taxicab
service with Global Positioning System which means each call is matched
with the closest available cab, thus ensuring prompt response time. Unlike
some cities, even four passengers can ride for the price of one. Their
taxis are clean, comfortable late model sedans and minivans, and equipped
with digital cameras. In Houston, all Yellow Cabs are operated by
independent contractor drivers. |
