Yellow Cab drivers should give you the best possible service. If you receive great service, it is customary to tip 10-20% of the fare.
History?
8004MYTAXI came into existence around 1986, when a young entrepreneur called a taxicab and found that a Yellow CabCo offered terrible service to pick him up. The owner of our company saw the opportunity to become a niche leader and started West Coast Yello Cab at that time with only ten taxi-vehicles. We quickly grew into a fleet of over 190.
