Little-known fact: Thanks to Colorado's complicated and unusual taxi laws, our cab companies can charge different meter rates, something that's impossible in most U.S. locales. Here's how those different rates stack up in Denver: Metro Taxi and Yellow Cab charge an estimated $2.25 a mile, while Union Cab clocks in at $2. Freedom Cabs, however, prides itself as being the cheapest of the bunch, at $1.80 per mile. So call Freedom the next time you need a ride: Those purple cabs could save you some green.
This article came up on the first page in a google search. This is obviously very old. Is there an update to this post?
BTW, Freedom Cab my be low cost when you are riding alone, but not when you have more than one person. Their additional person add on rate is one of the highest.
I'm really glad I met some nice people in Denver to convince me that not all people are this way. The Freedom Taxi dispatcher last night (Jan 11) was the rudest person I have had the displeasure of talking to in my entire life. After giving my information I was asked where I needed a ride from. I planned on saying the name of my hotel and then the address just to clarify. Before I had the chance to say the address I was interrupted by the dispatcher who informed me that I needed to give an exact address and then proceeded to hang up on me... I was appalled. I unfortunately had no other cab numbers on hand and had to call back. To my dismay, I was put through to the same dispatcher. Who after getting the ride finally set up began to mutter; when asked to repeat what he said, he yelled it in to the phone. The cab showed up an hour and a half later.
