I have to tell you that you are absolutely correct to turn at 46th cut to minnehaha. First, the customer is always right, and the driver was suppose to go over the route with you prior to leaving HHH. Second Hiawatha is a joke that does not always move making the meter tick 35 to 39 cents a minute if you are stopped. 3rd. If the driver knows of alternative or faster way or knows of construction or any blocks that are not open,you should have been told. He or she should ask you if you would like to try that way, and only take that way if it is not an additional cost, if the driver makes the mistake he/she is obligated to make it right with you. That is what they are taught in cab college. I own and operate Platinum Airport And Car Service 612-203-7276,We have customers who are neighbors and take that same route everyday, all year. We would be more than happy to take you back and forth to the airport 50 times a year and I will offer you A FLAT RATE, because you are my nieghbor and a very frequent flyer who goes to the same location/drop. If you fly that often you deserve better, My name is Darlette and I would be more than happy to offer you a flat rate. Hi Im your nieghbor and in the airport service industry.

Less stops, less left hand turns (one by my calcs) and probably a better cruising speed. That said...I believe the phrase "the customer is always right" comes to mind.

If he wants to drive *his* way, he can eat the cost of the ride. Quite frankly, it’s none of his GD business *what* route you want to take.
