Trouble with taxis

Posted

Ogdensburg has a major problem with taxicabs. I am disabled and use a wheelchair. Whenever I call for a taxi, they either forget I called, or it takes them an hour or two to pick me up. Most days they are either closed or my call goes to voicemail. On Sundays there are no taxicabs open. Taxi owners need to realize that not everyone has a vehicle and we rely on them to get to where we are going. In the winter months is when people rely on taxis more. I have rolled home from the store carrying a lot of bags because there were no taxis available. There are several taxi companies that service Ogdensburg, and it is hard to get them when needed. The City of Ogdensburg needs to put their foot down on them.
