style taxi used to be a fair priced and dependable service. however, over the past few years when i have used them they have been inconsistent, overpriced, and just plain underhanded! for example: my friend girl and i ran out of gas. it took over 20 minutes for the taxi to arrive. when he finally did i asked if it would be possible to agree on a flat rate to drive us to the nearest gas station and back. he agreed on $10 plus tip. which i think was more than fair considering the situation and distance(less than 4 miles round trip). i repeat....the cabbie agreed on the flat rate though mumbled something about seeing if the meter would be under our agreement so that we would not over-pay.he drove us to a gas station where we purchased a gas can and gas. by the time we got back to the car.....the meter was @ $17 and change. my friend handed the cabbie $15 thanking him for his service. he then demanded another $2 from her or he would call the police! what??
Cons: underhanded, unreliable, rude
