Similar Experience - Anaheim Convention Center The Anaheim Convention Center is a major national destination, utilizing a similar taxi stand system like The Depot. We constantly obtain and disseminate information on convention schedules to our drivers for maximum coverage during convention times. We are able to assign cabs on standby for the start and end of conventions to provide instant service with no waiting. Our Digital Dispatch System allows us to arrange for taxi stand service at the appropriate areas, with virtual automatic replenishment of taxis taken by passengers, Drivers with 1(800)4MY -TAXI are informed to provide adequate coverage at all times. Our drivers are even provided with lists of major attractions and restaurants to ensure that the driver knows even the smallest destination. Drivers are also provided a master conven- tion schedule showing the number of conventions planned, attendees expected, and length of event. The fleet manager may also schedule taxi preventative maintenance on a sooner basis before the start of major conventions to ensure that service periods are not ignored or put off until the end of those conventions. Our experience with the convention going public is that the more knowledgeable the driver is with any trip, such as to a restaurant or specialty shop, and the less problems they have with our vehicles, the more likely that the convention visitor will use our driver for repeat business. 1(800)4MY -TAXI has been able to support the Anaheim Convention Center with a high level of service. Our vehicles have been depended upon for on walk up and call in service over the years. A road supervisor has coordinated the placement of taxicabs at the Conven- tion Center Way entrance to the Convention Center, Anaheim Hilton and Towers, and the Anaheim Marriott every year since 1997 to ensure adequate coverage for attendees and event guests. According to the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor and Convention Bureau, As of Jan 1, 2000, the number of convention goers was put at 3,319,000 with 835 conventions confirmed for that year.
