Taxi-Happy Cab

These guys are unpleasant at best, and rude is probably a better word to describe them (used by Robert. W). But I thought to myself: why let one negative review keep me from giving this cab company a try? I mean, living in Marin, it’s not like you have a ton of choices. So I gave it a try.
The dispatcher who took my call was cranky, but no more surly than you might expect. The cab arrived within the 15 – 20 minute window the dispatcher promised. I got into the cab and was immediately subjected to an expletive-​laden tirade about how filthy the cab was (and it was flat-​out disgusting, to be sure). Still, I don’t care to be on the receiving end of an angry rant when I get into a cab — I want a ride to my destination.
Once we were on our way, the driver interrupted his rant to answer a call from his elderly mother, which was just fine by me. But when he told her he was headed to the Ferry Building in San Francisco to «hang out with all the fairies» I interrupted him to let him know we were headed to the Larkspur Ferry terminal. His reaction? «Oh, f**k. Now this time I got totally screwed», grumbled on, and then hung up on his mother.
Really? How about the insanely expensive taxi rates in Marin? Who’s getting screwed here buddy? I’m sorry I wasn’t the huge whale-​of-​a-​fare you had hoped, but for god’s sake — for a big guy, you’re a huge, whiny, unpleasant little sissy of a baby-​man. He then called his dispatcher to bemoan the fact that I wasn’t going to SF, but to the Larkspur ferry. He went on to whine be placed into another vehicle, presumably for sanitary reasons. Whatever. Hate to break it to you, fat man, but whining and leveling passive-​agressive insults to your fare is really unlikely to boost your tips. Yup: there’s a reason you drive a cab, dude. It’s not society. It’s you.
I suffered through the rest of the ride to my destination and got the heck out of the cab. Avoid these d-​bags at all cost. They deserve nothing more than to go out of business.

These guys were very rude on the phone. A real «chip on their shoulder» attitude. I would not use them!

I have used Happy Cab a couple of times, and both times the cab arrived a few minutes early then scheduled. And I am talking early. (4 am and 3:30 am). The drivers were nice and respectful. I highly recommend them.
