Complaint Review: Yellow Cab Dallas

5/28/14 RIP OFF: I had to call Dallas Police. At Holiday Inn (Addision Beltway) and asked the front desk to call cab (you should be able to trust front desk .. you cannot)  The cab comes and the driver is not happy: I want to go to Amtrak (7 miles; $2/mi = $14 rght?) and he wants to do the DFW airport (why can't I fly?) (cuz).   So he gets on a freeway and Googles ays he is going to the airport.   I tell him I do not wan to go to airport .. AMTRAK.  He is Ethiopian (no-speaka-ingles)(bu he is a good Christian he says).  Unable to get AMTRAK. I say I want to get out of the cab.  The meter says $22 (we've gone about 7 mile) and he wants $35 (but he cannot explain "no speaka-ingles").  So I call police but they will not come.  I have no idea where I am or where AMTRAK is and he no speaka.  His dispatcher agrees I should pay $35 (more is better).  I keep calllng police.. finally the come.  Meter says $22.  Now he speak English pretty good. He wants $45 now for waiting time.  PD says (meter says $22?)  (he can add fast. just no speaka)  I give PD $25 and they hand it to cab.  No he wants MORE.  No they say .. hit the road.  DON't USE YEL:LOW CAB (it is literally highway  robbery ..and it is legal)  They don't have to care if you object.  They leave you standed in a bad neighborhood with no idea where you are (or even where's a bus).  So the police felt sorry for me (I guess) and took me to AMTRAK.  Be careful of Yellow cab if you are a senior, female, alone, unfamiliar .. and be aware that Holiday Inn does not check them out before they call them.
