• Letter of the Day: Taxi choice needed at Saskatoon airport

  04-03-2019 17:00 via thestarphoenix.com
  If the airport wants to impose these fees for a taxi to and from the airport, then when you are leaving the airport you should be able to have a different taxi service pick you up other than just one taxi service.
  If you go to other cities they do not have just one taxi service waiting to take you to where you want to go. I think the city and the two that have spoken out with the $2 fee are really looking out for the people of Saskatoon.
