I was at emergency at one of the hospitals, put my phone on silent and left it on the cab seat on the way home. The driver found it and returned it to me about 20 minutes later. It is my life line. The cab number was 838 and I thank this driver so much for his kindness!! So thankful there are still people like this and that they drive for Checker. I have always had good experiences with Checker and this one was exceptional!!

Took a cab with a fixed rate. Driver argued with me telling me I wasnt allowed to choose the more quicker, more direct route because I had a fixed rate and that I wasnt allowed to navigate. The drivers number was #1582. Just a terrible experience

This is one of the least reliable services I have used in my 33 years on this earth, and will probably never consider using a cab over Uber again. Busy night? Enjoy never getting a cab anywhere for hours upon hours. Uber- will be there in 15 mins.

If you get the right driver, its a wonderful ride. But if you get the wrong one, like i get often you get: not stopping at stop signs, drivers cutting people off left and right, sliding all over the road, and then requests for tips.
Passengers beware!!

Well this happens too often and this aint acceptable and I started to take note and will make a list and send a complain to the company and if i must, I will post the details here. When your drivers accept a booking when i use the app, I am dang lucky if they actually move within 5min. Last time, a few days ago, my husband booked a cab and after 15min, we cancelled because the driver did NOT move at all. NOT an inch.
Today, in this cold, i was in a bus shelter at Somerset lrt, waiting for a cab that took my booking request and after 9min of wait since the car(who was 4min away) wasnt moving
