Daddy Paddy from New York sent us Georgia boys three of these trucks loaded with taxi's.  New York City taxi's with the looong wheel base means lots of extra room and comfort for the passengers!  Now we need drivers to drive these fine vehicles!  Pop over to the careers page to apply!  Change your life for the better today!

Hello, we get about 60-80 hits a day here, take some time and email me at tarpittz@yahoo.com and tell me what you were looking for and if you found it with ease or any suggestions for the site....

Why pay limo prices when you can pay taxi prices?

By the merriam-webster dictionary a limousine is defined as

a large luxurious often chauffeur-driven sedan that usually has a glass partition separating the driver's seat from the passenger compartment

By the city of Dahlonega's ordinances a taxi is defined as...

Taxicab means any vehicle designed and used for the purpose of transporting less than fifteen (15) passengers for consideration or charges which are determined by agreement, contract, mileage, or by the length of time the vehicle is used, not operatering from a fixed terminal on a fixed route.

Our 14 passenger bus fits this to a TEE!

Dahlonega ordinances require taxi services to have drivers which have clean criminal and driving records, this means, NO DUI's, NO DRUG POSSESSION, NO ASSUALTS plus a clean bill of health from a doctor!

You can contract our 14 passenger party bus for only $300 + $1 per mile with NO MINIMUM HOURLY CHARGES!

Compare that to your local "limo" service!

We searched for two years to find the right high occupancy vehicle for our customers.  We would not settle for the 15 passenger vans which were flooding the market for a very cheap price because churches were getting rid of them after they had been declared unsafe due to a high point of gravity causing dangerous rollovers!  Our 14 passenger buses came out of public transportation service in Decatur Alabama and are very similar to the buses used by the city of Dahlonega's Dial-a-bus service.

When you board our buses you walk on.  You walk to your seat and you sit upright with plenty of leg room.  Not so with a 15 passenger van in which you climb in and squat in your seat.

For your next event consider hiring a taxi at taxi prices rather than paying limo prices for a "limo"

The Newest News with Paddys:

"Paddy is ruining the taxi business" - thats a quote from one of the local mini-van operators.  Why pack your party into a small mini van when you can walk on the bus and have plenty of room.  Not to mention a smaller bill!

Now paddys has our competitors seeing double check this out...

    thats right!  two buses!  after only four weeks the demand for the bus got so high we ran out and obtained a second bus!

two                    sharp              buses   with a  roomy interior!

and yes... ice cold A/C

TAXI BUS!  We got a bus!  After two years of searching for the right High Occupancy Vehicle (H.O.V.) we have obtained a NICE 14 passenger Goshen bus.  Its a e350 ford, ford of course.  This vehicle is sweet!  We've been running it as a taxi on the weekends for those 5-14 party pickups we used to run with two taxis so this will cut the cost of transportation for your party down by 50%!

The bus screams for casino trips, winery tours, falcon games, and such.  The bus is yearning for Oktoberfest 2008!

You can book the bus or catch it as a taxi as it operates as a taxi in Cumming. 

We are dabbling with brushing up on the GRTA Xpress as they are reaching standing room only and we offer a way to get to the mobile sardine can.

People are screaming for public transportation in Cumming and Paddy's and some big time groups are looking into this.  Consider this... Marta/Grta is financialy backed by the United States Government and they buy their diesel for a mere $.99 per gallon.

The Tax man takes 40% of our income and we pay $.45 per gallon in tax on gas which as you well know is now topping over $3.50 a gallon.  How are we supposed to compete with this as the value of the dollar slides futher and futher into worthlessness?  Fifty's and Hundreds are like Fives and Tens!

In any event you get what you pay for so open up those wallets and lets stimulate the economy!

Lets not forget the poor people who need transportation!  You can donate what you can buy purchasing paddy bucks and desginating them for the poor people fund by clicking on the specials tab.  Give till it hurts, the tax man that is, all donations are tax deductable!

Our dedicated, experienced, and courteous drivers are standing by twenty four hours a day to service your transportation or delivery request.

Frequently Asked Questions:

how long till the taxi gets here?

Your taxi will be dispatched as soon as the conversation with the dispatcher is over.  Your telephone number will be passed to the driver assigned to your trip.  You may expect a call from the driver requesting final directions.  If you do not answer your phone the driver will cancel the trip.

how much will the taxi be from here to there?

use mapquest or yahoo maps to plot your route and calculate the fare at $4.00 per mile.  This will account for your trip so that you will be able to set enough money aside for your trip.  Generally your trip will not cost the full amount that you have calculated.  In the same light under difficult circumstances your trip may cost more than what you have calculated.

why so much?

we keep our vehicles well maintained as they have to pass multiple city inspections.  The cost of maintenance, commercial insurance, gasoline, and having to pay a driver are all factors which determine our rate.  Our rates are competitively set.

do you know your way?

In the majority of the cases we can pull your address up and find the way with a gps enabled computer.  In the event we have difficulty locating you we will have the driver call you for more specifics.

if i need you to wait on me how much is that?

Fifty Dollars an hour.  The taxi meter will keep track of wait time to the minute

where are you at now?

we are not just one person we have taxis standing by in

Alpharetta,Cumming,Dawson,Dahlonega,Cleveland, and Helen

how will i know your the taxi?

we won't show up in some beater car claiming we are a taxi.  You will KNOW when we show up as our vehicles are plainly marked and have a top light on them.  If in doubt look for the four leaf clover on the door.
