Lolz at reporting them...no way in hell that organization wants improvement of its product.


LOL, Cabbies are MAD as hell at the city now because all cabs have to be no older than 7 years old, accept Credit, have GPS and some other stuff I can't remember. They picketed City hall for months, even tried to shut down traffic downtown. The city is ALL OVER THAN.

The last cab I took in new Orleans was terrible. Flight landed at 11pm so I was tired and ready to get to hotel. Asked when I got picked up if he took credit cards, he says "yes yes" and waves me in.

Get to the French Quarter and pull out the card and he looks at it and says "you have cash?". I didn't so said no I only have the card. He acts all angry and says "I'll try but this hasn't worked all night." He fumbles around with the machine for like 5 minutes and it finally goes through and pops up on the back screen. I sign with the tip and go to leave but he says I can't until I sign the receipt. As I said, I'm already tired and pissed and just want to go check in. He fumbles around with the machine and it's all jammed and won't print. I watch him work on it for another few mins and just tell him I'm going in and can't wait any longer.

He says he can't confirm the payment went through and I said he'll have to take that up with the company and just go check in. I checked the account after and it did go through.

Last trip I took I used only Uber and every car was quick, clean and everything was so fast and easy

Someone who know what up

And Uber is cheaper if nothing is going on. And how often is nothing going on in NOLA ? That surge price gouge pricing will make a ride to the airport during Mardi Gras $500.
