Can you tell me what you do at the yard, how long your there before and after the shift, and also do you subscribe to cab dash or taxi insider? Is it hard to get 4 12's early on, or do you need months on hand first.

I want to take a cab from the quad to Freemont St. But I am by myself - will (can) the driver walk with me down Freemont St?

Asked by Kay almost 12 years ago

I guess it depends on the driver however I would not just for the simple fact I would lose over an hour of work, unless in was worth my time money wise.  That being said there is no danger in walking down freemont by yourself, not anymore than walking down the strip by yourself there is security everywhere and is very well lit.  Downtown is one of my favorite places to go when I have family and friends in town you dont have anything to worry about
