The City of Kamloops runs a taxi cab inspection program. I recently received this report which I thought I would put online. Both local taxi companies have been cooperating fully with the program. And I caution that this information will go out of date pretty quick. Still, you have a right to know how the taxi companies have been faring in the inspections:

Total number of Complaints regarding Both Company’s
For the year of 2007 we have received approximately 5 complaints for various issues’ from smoking in the cars to the vehicles pushing blue and not being kept clean.
Warnings Issued
In 2007 no written warnings were issued we spoke to the drivers of the vehicles and to the owner’s of both company’s or there managers when we received a complaint. They were very quick to deal with any complaints that were addressed to them.
Note:
In dealing with both of these Cab Company’s they have been extremely compliant working with the City of Kamloops this past year and we look forward in working with them again this year.
