YELLOW CAB RAISES VISIBILTY AND EXPANDS TO
FRIENDSWOOD AND PEARLAND AREAS
Houston (October 29, 2004) –Yellow Cab recently increased its availability in south Houston by expanding its transportation services to more than 65,000 residents in the Friendswood and Pearland areas.
'Yellow Cab is excited to be expanding to the west of I-45," says Robert Rugg, president of Yellow Cab Company Houston. "Pearland and Friendswood residents are optimistic about the expansion of Yellow Cab to their area. This allows residents to enjoy inner-city amenities such as personal transportation while still enjoying the suburban lifestyle."
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, Friendswood and Pearland are 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. As a result of Yellow Cab’s recent expansion, Friendswood and Pearland residents will see more Yellow Cabs than ever before in their neighborhoods and in front of business centers.
