First drive was great new exactly where I needed to go, second driver needed instructions on how to get to my place! I guess with the snow coming down, he was nervous driving in it! Kept hitting the brakes..

I phoned the dispatcher to let her pass on the information to the cab driver about different location as my bf doesnt have a phone. Not only didnt she bother telling her driver, it costed $40 cab fare when it shouldve been half of that. My food is cold, and terrible service of no communication. The driver found out from Tim hortons the order was else where.

Absolutely horrendous services, both Beeline AND C.R Cabs. You're lucky to even get a phone call in, and with beeline? You'll probably be greeted by the apathetic and condescending tone of the lovely operator. The drivers are okay, but the wait time is disgusting. That's probably not the driver's fault though.

I have yet to get in one of their cabs and not feel like I am stepping into an ashtray. This is my 4th ride with this company. All of their cabs so far have been dirty, smell like smoke. I would give them 1 star but the drivers are nice. This this just a classic example of what is broken in the cab business. They just don't care about the customer experience. In Campbell river there are few options and unlike services like Uber and lyft where you can comment on their quality of the experience thus forcing the drivers to at least carr a bit about how clean their cars are.... bee line operates
