It's Good Business To Use Durham Taxis
Taxicabs are strictly regulated in Durham for the safety of the traveling public. Only taxis officially permitted by the City of Durham can legally pick up passengers in Durham. And there are good reasons.
To operate cabs in Durham, drivers and owners go through an inspection of criminal and driving history that's more rigorous than nearby communities/destinations including the airport.... Durham taxi drivers are drug tested. Durham cabs are also regularly inspected twice each year for safety and more regularly for insurance updates.
It's not uncommon for non-Durham cabs to try to illegally pick up passengers in the Bull City including RTP. Some have even attempted to illegally give kickbacks to those who often call cabs for residents or visitors or people working in Durham. Violations can result in civil penalties or Community Life Court.
It's good business to use official Durham taxis....cleaner and safer. And using a local taxi means the revenues goes back into providing even better cab service in the future.
