GBDISHONEST PEOPLE Long story short, my Fiance and I took a brief ride from Grand Central to Port Authority, not long after I realized that I did not have my phone on me. I was able to use the find my phone app and could see it was in the cab going around the city. I pinged my phone numerous times only for it to be manually turned off for 12 hours. I emailed the dispatcher with the information he needed and have NOT heard back and I also followed up before I posted this review. They have no intention in helping me recover my phone nor have the decency to respond back - avoid all yellow cabs at all costs. Just awful.

GBScheduled a taxi for early morning Scheduled a taxi for early morning. Driver assigned, after several minutes I noticed car not moving and I. A neighborhood street. Called dri8, he asked where I was going. After I told him, he said system is not working. Cancelled ride. Requested new ride, same situation. 2nd assigned driver hung up without speak.

GBTerrible Like others I liked the idea of supporting drivers so tried the app, but I tried it twice and there were no cabs available either time. Plus, the second time the app took about 20 minutes to tell me that, by which time I had decided to walk. The worst part is that they charged my credit card and I am trying to get them to refund me, so far without any luck. Good concept, absolutely terrible execution.

GBHORRIBLE HORRIBLE. The a-hole driver who accepted my request sat at the (wrong) end of my block for a minute or two, wouldn't answer his phone when I called (twice), and then just suddenly cancelled the ride. A full twenty-five minutes later, a replacement driver arrived. I'm now massively late for a hospital appointment, will likely have to re-book, and have $50 of wasted fares on top. There's no way to complain about the a-hole who wrecked my day. Angry and disgusted. Horrible service, horrible system where drivers can just suddenly change their mind with no explanation. I'm boiling mad. Zero stars would be more appropriate.

GBNot dependable Not dependable - scheduled a cab 8 hours in advance to make a flight. 13 minutes after the cab was scheduled to pick me up, I received a text saying there were no cabs available and I would have to reschedule. The app claims you can easily schedule your ride - and it is easy to schedule. Just don't count on them being there as promised. Uber and Lyft have this perfected - Curb is further proof why old-fashioned cabbies are on the way out.
