Surrey
We were here before the SkyTrain.
Newton, Guildford, Whalley, Fleetwood, and every shortcut in between.
Whalley
1941
Most people here farmed or worked in the mills. The road to New Westminster was a year old.
14,840residents in 1941
King George
1955
Surrey had become somewhere people slept, and drove out of every morning.
33,670residents by 1951, more than double ten years earlier
Farm Country
1962
The Port Mann Bridge was still two years away, and new houses were going up between the farms.
70,838residents at the 1961 census
The Strip
1970
The interurban had stopped carrying passengers twenty years earlier, so everything moved by road.
Passenger service ended 1950
Guildford
1978
Guildford's mall had been open since 1966, and a Saturday there meant a cab home with the shopping.
Mall Saturdays
White Rock
1985
Summer evenings on the promenade, when there is nothing to park anywhere near the pier.
Forty-four years on the same roads
Scott Road
1990
In March the SkyTrain crossed the Fraser on the new SkyBridge, and the ride home from the station became a short cab trip.
The Expo Line reaches Surrey
King George Highway
1995
The SkyTrain had reached King George the year before, and the strip stayed busy long after the last train.
304,477residents at the 1996 census
Newton Exchange
2000
Anyone whose shift ends after the last bus still has to get home somehow.
347,825residents by 2001
New Neighbourhoods
2005
Whole new neighbourhoods were going up every year, and the first hybrid cabs were joining BC fleets.
Hybrids on the road
The Olympic Winter
2010
The Winter Games came to Vancouver, every road into the city filled up, and the cabs left earlier.
February 2010
The Airport Run
2015
Early flights mean a pickup while it is still dark out.
517,887residents by 2016
Essential Trips
2020
When everything else closed, the cabs kept running: a plastic shield between the seats, and the essential trips that could not wait.
Through the pandemic
The Rebound
2022
Riders came back, and hybrids were most of the fleet.
The rebound
City Centre
2024
Some of the cabs are Teslas now, running quiet under the new towers of City Centre.
Teslas in the fleet
The School Run
2026
Parked up with the other parents, waiting on the bell.

Good questions
Straight answers.
Metered and transparent: $3.75 flag plus $2.18 per kilometre, GST included. No surge pricing — the rate at 2am on New Year's Eve is the same as a Tuesday afternoon. Call 604-581-1111 for an estimate on your exact route.
Never. We are a licensed, metered taxi company — our rates are set by the province and published. What the meter reads is what you pay.
Yes — hours or days ahead, at no extra charge. Call 604-581-1111, message us on WhatsApp, or book online right here on the site.
Surrey, White Rock, Cloverdale, South Surrey, North Delta, Tsawwassen, Ladner, Langley — plus Vancouver Airport (YVR) and Abbotsford Airport (YXX). If you are south of the Fraser, we have you covered.
Up to four or five passengers per car depending on the vehicle. For five or six, ask dispatch for a van when you book; seven or more is arranged by the office.
Yes — card and cash. Please advise the driver of your payment method; drivers carry limited change.
Dispatch is. Call 604-581-1111 any hour of any day — early flights, late shifts and 2am included.
Yes — pickups and drop-offs at both Vancouver Airport (YVR) and Abbotsford Airport (YXX). Book an airport pickup by phone on 604-581-1111; dispatch confirms the fare and how to pay when you book. A pickup from Abbotsford Airport is paid upfront unless you have a Yellow Express account.
Yes — wheelchair-accessible vans are part of the fleet. Call 604-581-1111 and ask for a wheelchair-accessible van, or tick "Wheelchair-accessible vehicle" under More options when you book online. Book ahead where you can; the office confirms the van with you. HandyDART Taxi Saver coupons are accepted (a trip HandyDART pays for is booked through HandyDART).
Call dispatch on 604-581-1111 from the number you booked with, and give the date, time, pickup and drop-off of your ride. Dispatch traces the trip and the driver; if the driver is on another shift, dispatch records it and follows up. A found item can be delivered back to you for a $20 charge.
