Harrison Cab

Worst cab service I have ever used. Very rude owner and his office near the path station stinks. The cabs are not at all maintained and they smell. The cab drivers are rude and so rough in their driving. To top it all, these cabs are super pricy !! I do recommend über any day.

Worst cab service ever! How do they stick 4 people in one car going to 4 different destinations, yet charge the normal rate they would charge if just one person was in the car. Takes 30 minutes to get to a destination that would normally take 10 minutes. Pathetic excuse.

Absolutely the worst cab service I have ever used. The dispatch office at Harrison Path Station WREAKs of cigarettes, they are extremely rude, doesn’t matter which dispatcher is on, they are all cut out of the same mold. The drivers are rude. Ridiculously overpriced, you are SHARING THE CAB! Why is it $ 10 to go 15 blocks crammed into a cab with 3 other people?
I’ll tell you why, because they can. It’s a monopoly. They are right there at the station and they could not care less whether you take their cab or not. You have no choice.
The first time I used them, I didn’t know that the cab won’t come up to the front of the office, the guy tells me go look for the cab, it’s out there. Out where? I just moved to Harrison, how am I supposed to know this if you don’t tell me. Then he gets irate with me saying what’s wrong with me???
If at all possible, I will never ever use them again.

I legitimately cannot say I’ve had a single problem with Harrison Cabs. Every time I’ve used them they’ve been quick to arrive, the drivers are friendly and chat away to you and the dispatcher in the office always has been nice to me.
Okay, I’ve never used them for long distance travelling, only from Oakwood down to the Path, and I’ve never had to call up to book one, only for an immediate hire, but I can’t say I’ve had any problems. I’d recommend over Schuyler Cabs any day.

These guys are so rude, worst service I have had in my life, never calling again.

It’s what you take when you’re desperate.
This place is a taxi service and does what it says, but it is one hell of a ride. If you walk into dispatch to get a cab, it could be up to a 15 minute wait, longer during rush hour. Then the dispatcher gives you vague directions to where the cab is and then it’s a mad dash to find a cab. Expect to run about a block to get your cab and you may even have to cross the street. You won’t care though because you’ll be happy you can finally breathe after being bathed in cigar smoke during your wait.
Once you find and get in you car, you will notice another 3 people following you. Yes, those are your fellow cab riders. You pay full price for a cab, but you have to share with 3 other people. You’re glad you are first so you can get first pick of seats. WRONG. It’s a crap shoot and if there are only two people running with you, you do not get shotgun– you get bitch seat. Once you get in the car, the cab driver with then ask where everyone is going again– that’s because the person whose stop is the closest get’s dropped off first. Which means, if you live in the upper half of Kearny, you will probably be the last person to get dropped off.
On the way, he will probably light a cigarette with the windows closed and start trying to make small talk about his belief of the «impending end of the world». You try to let this guy run his mouth until he gets someone else in the car to believe that 26,000 years is how long it takes the earth to complete one rotation around the entire galaxy. You become fed up with his bullshit and interject: «Actually, It’s roughly 225 million years and that the earth does not orbit the galaxy, the earth orbits the sun and the solar system orbits the galaxy.» At this point, somebody else in the car announces that they believe in alien astral projection akin to the beliefs of the Heaven’s Gate cult. The other remaining person in the car is actually intelligent, but looks at you and laughs silently out of pity because you are getting nowhere in the conversation. It now becomes apparent why this guy is a cab driver and half the people in your car are certifiably nuts.
You then sit through the next 9 minutes listening to what you think is two people playing a game of who can invent the most asinine Utopian apocalypse imaginable. You realize it’s not a game, but is in fact a very serious conversation littered with misinformation and incorrect «facts». You laugh hysterically behind your jacket and realize this is the best cab ride of your life. You exit the car humbled by two people feeding off each others inane sensationalism and tip the cab driver appropriately even though you reek of ashtray and lunacy.

Schuyler Cab Co looks Godly next to the Harrison Cab place. It absolutely reeks of cigarettes whether you are stepping into the office or one of their cabs. Their cabs are not as clean and their drivers are not as friendly nor helpful. And it looks like their prices continue to climb … It used to be $ 8 (tax & tip included) to ride to my house, but they’re now charging $ 8.50 before tax & tip. Ridonc.

These guys are very rude, never coming back. To begin with they showed up 10 minutes late. I had to pick my son from his daycare and the daycare charges you a dollar for ever minute that you are late. What ticked me off is that on the way back they charge me for the complete round trip i.e. to the starting point (harrison) instead of charging till my home which is not even half way back.
