Yellow Cab insists that they have a big enough fleet to handle the demands of the city but in reality they have a big enough fleet to handle what they believe our demands are. On a typical Saturday night after midnight there is at least an hour wait if you call so I suggest you head to the closest downtown hotel to find a cab.
What confuses me is that the taxis at these hotels sit there. They stay at the hotel not picking up anyone. I guess their employees hate money?
To top it all off after a certain hour they will turn off their meters which means they are scamming you. Isn't that illegal?
They know after the buses and T's stop they have the residents under their thumb so they can choose between picking them up or taking a nap (which we have witnessed before).
