Sometime in June, I'll need a taxi to travel a long distance in Toronto, and I am going to ask the Taxi service for a flat rate. Which is the best Taxi service in Toronto? In other words, which Taxi service is reasonably priced and reliable (i.e. they show up when they say they will show up)
Which Taxi Service Is The Best In Toronto?

You should use / support a taxie service that allows people to bring there working dogs with them. Too many of these fucking taxie drivers will not allow people to bring there help dogs. They shouldn't be allowed to drive taxies.
Beck is by far the best taxi company. I have used almost all of them over the years, Royal, Crown, and others. Beck is reliable. Despite having the most number of cabs in the city, they run a tight ship. When I have had a problem with the driver I called Beck, and they put his cab number on a list of drivers not to send me.Sometime in June, I'll need a taxi to travel a long distance in Toronto, and I am going to ask the Taxi service for a flat rate.

The main difference I have found with cabs is whether or not you are taking a cab during the day or night. Night drivers (probably by necessity) are mostly whackjobs no matter which cab company you use.
Do you mean Service Dogs?You should use / support a taxie service that allows people to bring there working dogs with them. Too many of these fucking taxie drivers will not allow people to bring there help dogs. They shouldn't be allowed to drive taxies.
Yes service dogs. Too many people get starnded because the taxie driver will not allow dogs in there cars for religious reasons. If thats the case they shouldn't be driving a taxie....
Some people are allergic to pets, some people need service dogs.
There's a happy medium, but only if cab companies have policies on that sort of issue.

You can find Beck almost anywhere and anytime in this town. They're the one with the green and orange cabs. I honestly couldn't give you the name of any other cab company in town.
Don't waste your money on taxis use a limousine company and get a sedan to pick you up they will give you better service slightly cheaper rates and a lot nicer cars than taxis and they only have flat rates.Sometime in June, I'll need a taxi to travel a long distance in Toronto, and I am going to ask the Taxi service for a flat rate.

If possible the taxi number should be recorded, and reported.Yes service dogs. Too many people get starnded because the taxie driver will not allow dogs in there cars for religious reasons. If thats the case they shouldn't be driving a taxie....
I realize a lot of people utilizing service dogs have sight issues, but that isn't right, and I believe illegal.
Wouldn't it contravene the Ontarians with Disabilities Act?

No, but the issue has come up in the thread, and is being discussed in a rational manner.There is no mention in the OP's post about dogs???
From the CNIB website (They'd know)You should use / support a taxie service that allows people to bring there working dogs with them. Too many of these fucking taxie drivers will not allow people to bring there help dogs. They shouldn't be allowed to drive taxies.
By law, service dogs trained to help people with disabilities are allowed into public places from which pets are banned. Too often, however, people who use these four-legged helpers find themselves at risk because their dogs are shut out. If Toronto really wants to call itself a world-class city, that has to change.
Kaye Leslie, Scotiabank's manager of workplace diversity, says she and her dog Kirk, a graduate of the Seeing Eye organization, have been left in cold, dark locations by cab drivers who drove away or refused to stop when they saw Kirk. One time, Leslie says, she was actually getting into a cab when it took off, leaving "the door swinging against us."
Leslie is among many who have long complained to cab companies and other businesses that deny working dogs entrance. They've done their best to raise awareness and increase understanding. But despite disability rights being part of standard training for a cab licence, she says the problem not only persists, it seems to be getting worse.
When it comes to cabs, many companies point out that drivers who are Muslim do not want contact with dogs because Islamic tradition sees them as unclean. But critics argue that carrying dogs comes with the job description for taxi drivers.
Jim Kutsch, president of the Seeing Eye organization, advises everyone who phones for a cab to ask the dispatcher for the driver's number so it can be reported with any complaint.
He also urges the public to help identify cabs that refuse to carry service dogs. "Many cases never get anywhere because, of course, someone who is blind cannot see a licence plate," he says. Those who think this issue is going nowhere would do well to heed how the Metropolitan Airport Commission of Minneapolis deals with drivers who refuse dogs.
"The first time it happens, their licence is suspended for three months," says a spokesperson. "The second time, they lose their licence altogether.
"This has always been the case for service dogs; last year we extended it to all dogs."
