Casino Halifax Taxi

Is Bob's the only one available to me? The past year or so we have found a huge decline in their service. Longer and longer wait times (yesterday it was just over an hour before a cab picked up our call) I dont have an issue with the drivers themselves usually, but I have gotten into a fight with the dispatch in the summer. Is there any other option? Or am I stuck to relying on friends or transit?

Hey guys I noticed there have been a couple of posts on uber and the current Halifax taxi system lately. I though I would make a post on how the current taxi system works so maybe it would be a bit clearer. I currently work as a taxi driver so I know the system pretty well. My goal isn't necessarily to support the current system or to say that rideshare services are the pure evil, I just want to clarify a few things.
First is that the licensing system here works differently than other cities. the roof lights are handed out for free on a first come first serve basis. your name gets put on a list once you get your taxi license and the current wait time is something like 12-15 years to get your own. Instead of buying a permit for 100k+ like in other cities, here you can rent a roof light from someone who owns one while you wait for your turn to come up on the waitlist. the current rate for a roof light is 350-400 per month. currently you are not allowed to get more than one roof light however the rules used to be different so there are some guys out there that have a handful of roof lights which they rent out and there is one person in particular who ones quite a few and has built a good sized business of renting them out and owning a mechanic shop. other than that though most roof lights are owned by an individual who then makes a living driving people around.
since the roof lights are owned by individuals it means that the dispatch companies like casino and yellow cab don't really have a monopoly on the system. the drivers are independant contractors and the companies act as a middleman connecting you to a driver in basically the same way that uber operates now. we pay them a fee for their dispatching equipment and for the calls that they send us (currently this costs about $150/week in dispatch fees).
the dispatch companies also have no control over the pricing for taxis either. prices are set by the city on the basis that a driver should be able to make a reasonable income after expenses by working 40 hours per week. realistically the dispatch companies do not care too much about pricing or limiting the supply of cabs either since if there were more taxi licenses issued then they would be making additional income from the added $150/week/driver. the supply of licenses is limited so there is a reasonable amount of work for every driver.
something to consider is that the dispatch fees and roof light rent are the only two expenses that uber has any ability to influence with their service. all the other costs are the drivers responsibilities. the truth about Ubers business model is that it really doesn't revolutionize anything. it doesn't bring costs down because the vast majority of the costs of running a taxi are purchasing a vehicle, gas, and insurance. they're only cheaper because they pay their drivers so little and run at a massive loss(4 billion dollars last year alone) in an attempt to starve out all their competitors. in fact I would say that if anything it would cost uber more to operate here than it would for the traditional dispatch companies because uber has to spends tons of money on driver recruitment since they pay them so little and will fire them on a whim. their real advantage comes in cities where the taxi licenses have been monetized and owned by a few wealthy investors. that system just syphons money out of the economy and jacks up prices for cabs so nobody wins except the investor. luckily it isn't like that here though.
So I guess what I'm getting at is that there really is no taxi monopoly in Halifax. its just a bunch of guys out working to make a living and all of the money currently spent on cabs stays right here in the city (as opposed to uber where I believe their cut is 25%). that being said I would love to see some improvements to the current system. The biggest one being stricter requirements for vehicle age and cleanliness standards. Also ideally there would be some kind of requirement for all cabs to accept debit and credit.

I made a throwaway for this because this story gives away too much personal info and I dont want to dox myself. Also on mobile so excuse any formatting or spelling errors. So here we go:
I live in Cole Harbour. I need to be on Halifax for 7pm tonight. Decide to go to the casino for a drink or two first. At 5:10pm I call Bob's taxi and it rings and rings and rings with no answer. So I download the app and put in my info (and specify that I need debit or credit in the vehicle) and request a ride. We wait for about 10 mins and it dings and notifies us that a driver has accepted our fare....just for them to immediately cancel and put us back in the que. We wait for 15 more mins and decide to call again while leaving the app request pending, and nobodies surprise it rings and rings and ring with no answer.
So we say fuck it and cancel the request and delete the app. Then we give casino taxi a call and they say "no problem we'll have a car there in 5 minutes" which on one hand is great and on the other hand frustrating because Casino is Halifax based and Bob's is Dartmouth based.
Anywayyyyy 10 mins goes by and our cab shows up. Nice driver, new car, very clean. I come down and realize I forgot my wallet and have to run back into my apt building to get it, driver tells me he has to start the meter as the gf already sat in the car. Alright no problem I'll only be a minute. So I run back in my place and grab my wallet and come downstairs and the driver (real nice guy I cant stress that enough) that he has to charge an extra percentage because there's two occupants plus a dollar to cover the bridge...alright I get it, no problem. But oh wait yeah the Macdonald bridge is closed so we have to go to the McKay...fine I guess.
So now the meter is reading $5 as we pull out of my building. We make our way through Dartmouth traffic to the new bridge and finally reach our way to the casino. Time is now 6:10pm Total distance driven: right around 18km. Total pre-tip cost on the meter? 35 dollars. 35 motherfriggen dollar PLUS TIP to drive 18kms.
This my friends is why we desperately need ride share service or allowing way more cabs to operate.
