Comments:
I went to drop a co-worker off at the airport at the quick passenger drop off. It was extremely busy. I went to change lanes and a taxi driver would not let me in which was fine I got in behind her. I must have upset her because as we traveled through the airport she cut me off 2 more times. I dropped my passenger off first and then got into the through lane to exit the airport. It was very busy and you had to stop a lot to let passengers cross. As I went to drive again after stopping for passengers she again drove aggressively and cut in front of me. I changed lanes at that point to try and get away from her. As I got to the end of the airport where both lanes merge into one to get on the 215 she again sped up so fast, I can’t believe she did not rear end the person in front of her, to cut me off for the 3rd time. I had to slam on my brakes so I did not run into the wall. I proceeded to get my cell phone out to call her company to complain and she saw me and she sped off at probably 80 MPH to get away from me, but due to her awful driving from the beginning my passenger had written down her cab number. She is with A-Cab and her cab number was 1359. She had brown hair in pig tails and was wearing pajama bottoms. Very unkempt looking. She had an elderly couple as passengers who I just feel awful for because their ride with her could not have been a pleasant one. I did call her company to complain where I was told by her supervisor that he would talk to her. I think she should have her licensed pulled. I can’t believe someone who is supposed to be a professional driver would drive so angry and aggressively. She is going to hurt somebody. Thank you for listening

Comments:
I took a taxi from “a Cab” 702-369-5686, used credit card to pay, driver said it wouldn’t work and that I would have to pay cash($55.00). I had a really bad feeling about this but he demanded cash payment and one of my co-workers offered. lo and behold the charge showed up on my credit card bill. I disputed it with my credit card company and A-Cab is fighting the dispute. We did get a cash receipt from the driver “Steve” and I was riding with 3 co-workers who will give sworn affidavits that the fare was paid with cash. This “scam” was attempted by several other taxi drivers while we were in las Vegas, when we told them cash was not an option, they all of a sudden got the credit card machine to work properly. I cannot believe the taxi drivers are allowed to behave like this, I could easily get reimbursed for this from company but this is a criminal act. also the driver went down the strip from the JW Marriott to the airport instead of taking the highway, he said it was faster and cheaper, I am not sure this is true.
