| - Oh yeah, nothing like that awkward moment when you realize you have no way to get home.
Seeing as how I no longer live in walking distance of campus, getting home from the bars can be a bit tricky. I've taken this cab service twice now from the center of campus to southeast Urbana and I've been impressed each time considering I wasn't expecting much based on previous reviews posted. Once was Unofficial, and it was a good surprise when the driver showed up 20 minutes later despite the throngs of pedestrians and a quote of 45-60 minutes waittime. The second time required the 45 minute wait, but they were upfront about the wait so I didn't see it as such a big deal. Both times the drivers have been very friendly, made small talk, and were very courteous. That said, I have no idea what their actual rates are, advertised or otherwise. On Unofficial our meter dropped from $13 to $10 - for all three of us - once we stopped at our destination. Pretty sure I didn't have THAT much to drink considering the rest of my group confirmed this, but hey, a deal's a deal!
Minus one star because they don't seem to have a consistent answering service - sometimes the phone just rings and rings with no answer. Overall, I'm pleased with my experiences and I'll keep Yellow Checker in my phonebook for the next time I'm stranded in the depths of campustown.
