I cannot remember the last time......I haven't traveled anywhere for years that required me to take a cab.  I've usually driven to the destination or rented a car, so I haven't needed a cab.

When it is really storming and I have to go to work, I will take a car.  I do not like to drive when it is bad.  I work at walmart and can not park close to the door.  I guess it was last year when I rode in a cab.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

I don't remember ever being in a taxi cab. I'm pretty sure I have never been in one. If I have, I was just an infant and so wouldn't remember anyway.

Several years ago, when I was still working - before I retired, my car broke down on the side of the interstate.  I had to have it towed and get a cab to work.

The last time I took one was when I was in New York back in 91. I was a high school teacher then and we was on a close up trip. This was mostly for sight seeing. I have never been to a busy city as well as busy streets. How do the people there do it on a daily basis.

Several years ago my sister and I missed our shuttle to the airport in Las Vegas from our hotel.  We had to get to the airport quickly to catch our plane so we took a taxi.  Other than that I don't think I've ever taken a cab.

Probably about 25 years ago in Freeport, Bahamas.  I have very rarely been in a cab in my life, mostly just on vacations.

Oh boy, the last time I used a cab was 7 years ago when I was in collage and without a vehicle of my own. It is much better to have your own vehicle but if you cant I guess we all have to do what we got to do and get around in cabs or taxi vehicles or transportation busses around the city. There are always ways to get around.

The last time I took a cab was about three years ago. My daughter and I were in New York City at the Guggenheim Museum and after we left, we didn't feel like taking public transportation back to the train that was bringing us home to NJ, so we took a cab to the train.

Last August.  I was visiting a city I used to live and it had been nine years since I had been there.  Things changed but they were the same but I got lost a lot because I couldn't remember how to get to many places.  Luckily the cabs there are cheap.

Taxis are so expensive now. I haven't taken one in 5 years. They tried to charge me $50 but I talked them down to $35. That was the last time I took a cab.

Love your questions Melody....Hmmmm, a cab ride (I don't think there is a cab in this county) seems a long time ago.  I guess it was the last time we flew to Las Vegas so that would be about 10 years ago.  We have driven there the last few times we went.  Every place else we have gone we either drove or had friends or relatives chauffeuring us around.  Bet it is expensive now!

Probably about 4 years ago when I first went to Las Vegas. My feet were killing me from walking so much that I took a cab back from the casino I was at back to the hotel I was staying at. It cost like $30 for 2 miles!

Half the trips I have for business is involving a cab and they're always involved with a trip to and/or from the airport. They're a bit pricey, but I don't think I have my faith in Uber or similar companies just yet to switch to such alternatives.

A little over a year ago.  At the time a new cab company had started up in our town the other two had stinky filthy cars.  I tried the new one my son and I because we didn't have a car at the time.  The cab was brand new and so nice but the driver talked and acted and drove like he was drunk.  When we got to the bank I called the cab company and told the owner he had to send someone else that the guy had driven insanely and I thought he was intoxicated.  The owner came himself and shortly after I was able thank the Lord to buy a vehicle.

Don't remember... the train and bus transportation is right next to my place... TBH I don't like taxi drivers.. They drive reckless like the cops in my area, no turning lights, cut every light, tailgate, and cutting cars u name it even when there is no situation that calls for it

It has been many years since I used a cab, so far back in fact I don't remember how many years ago.  When I travel by plane after arriving at my destination I normally rent a car.   ;)

I've never been in a cab.  The only type of public transportation I've taken is at events, when they need to get you from the parking to the event.

I was coming hone in my new truck on 11/12/13  from an overtime shift  at Magic Kingdom in FL.
Some young, dumb drunk decided to take an illegal U turn on 192 slammin into my truck, totaling it out, of course she really didn't have insurance, and after the cops came, I took a cab home, didn't go to hosiptal  because I was really concerned about my truck at the time, and had the dogs at home waiting for me
I now have permanent injury from the event..but at least Mears cab co was there to help me out.
We use Mears at Disney, they are a participate company, most of them real nice drivers.   Oh yes, still paying on my truck, but I don't have it anymore..    >:(

I took a couple of cabs last summer before I figured out the bus system, which I did a few months before I was finally able to get a car. I do NOT miss public transportation, particularly the cab, which was always so expensive.
