YELLOW CAB RAISES VISIBILITY AND EXPANDS TO THE
GREATER CLEAR LAKE AREA

Houston (August 5, 2004) –Yellow Cab recently increased its availability in south Houston by expanding its transportation services to more than 200,000 residents in the greater Clear Lake area.

"Yellow Cab is excited to be expanding into the Clear Lake area," says Robert Rugg, recently named President of Yellow Cab Company Houston. "As a new member of the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce, we are committed to providing Clear Lake residents with a total transportation solution, focusing on excellence in every aspect of service."

As a result of this expansion, Clear Lake residents and tourists will have the opportunity to use Yellow Cab services such as:

• Available service 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week
• GPS Computer Dispatch (closest cab is matched to each service call)
• Average response time of 15 minutes or less
• Passenger peace of mind as each cab is equipped with a digital camera
• Wheelchair accessibility upon request
• Package Express courier service
• Towne Car service for executive transportation
• TaxiCard®, the Yellow Cab gift card and corporate charge card

Currently, Clear Lake is underserved with regard to a quality ground transportation provider, presenting Yellow Cab with a prime opportunity to give the area the company’s first focused expansion effort based on appealing demographics, geography, and local tourist-driven attractions, including Space Center Houston and South Shore Harbor. As a result of Yellow Cab’s recent expansion, Clear Lake residents will see more Yellow Cabs than ever before in their neighborhoods and in front of business centers.

“The Clear Lake Chamber is extremely excited about Yellow Cab’s membership and initiative,” says Claudette Alderman, President and CEO of The Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce. “This is without doubt a positive turn for Clear Lake as there has been a need for more transportation in this area for a long time.”
