  • Taxi Driver

     

    I was waiting for my husband and I was parked in front of the doors as many others were, probably waiting for family members as well. This taxi driver at approx 3pm at ABE airport, continued to honk his horn at cars, b/c they were in his stop. I refused to move b/c I was not in the taxi stand. He got out of his taxi and and told me that I had to move or else. Since I had my 7 month old daughter with me in the car, I did b/c I feared for her safety. Then he drove off. I will NEVER use your service and will be filing a complaint with the BBB. I will also let everyone know about my experience.
