Towards the end of August I'm going to be moving from Syracuse to Buffalo. I hope to still be active in the hobby while I'm there. Unfortunately, until I get my butt in gear and work to get my driver's license, transportation's always going to be an issue with me. Does anyone know of any good taxi services out in Buffalo?

Queen City taxi, but the metro bus is a much cheaper alternative. You can get a monthly pass for what one taxi ride would cost you.

Is the move a hobby related move? If it was, why not Rochester?

I usually go out and the taxi cab driver elects to be my driver for the night. The economy is bad and these guys are hard up now so taxis are always easy, just get their cell to call when you want them!!

The best value is to purchase a monthly pass. No change would be necessary. Look into an all zone pass.

MC, where are you trying to get to and from where? It can be an issue.
