Sounds like a dictatorial statement mimicking the left..I don't approve of either.


Two wrongs never make a right.

Most nowadays are going to say yes, they were vaccinated, whether they are or not.

So, The Liberals are against this, but when it's the opposite, you're all giddy.

This is their YELP before this controversy broke. Comments have been turned off, as they should be, that are unrelated to the actual service and just responding to the current news story.

Horrible rating. Chicken bones on the floor of the cab? Stolen cell phone?

Geez. Put a nail in that coffin.

This company is going to lose all it's taxi drivers to Covid. Then who's going to pick up the unvaccinated?

I live in their service area. I’ve never heard of them. Maybe they focus on the exurban areas more. In which case, this isn’t much of a business risk or benefit for them. The people in the more vaccinated areas aren’t really taxi people. We use Uber/Lyft or a private driver.

Totally their choice but not really an earth shattering one.

Meh. That's the point of a free country though. We're free to make our choices without government interference, no matter how dumb they are.

That said, I haven't been in a taxi in years lol.

It's good of them to be advising potential clients that their cabs are teeming cesspools of COVID. People with brains will avoid them. Heck, I bet even people who pretend the virus is harmless will be thinking twice before climbing into one of their cabs.
