Sunset Cab Company

I’ve never needed a taxi service in Red Bluff before. Although I’ve used them in big cities all over the world.
They are contracted with the local hospital to take patients home, at the patients expense.
I was released from the hospital at 10 pm on a weeknight. My husband was out of town on business and I hated to bother anyone at that hour. The hospital called me a cab.
This was after their usual business hours I believe. Took them about 30 minutes to arrive. The car was not spotless but no worse than mine. The driver and female passenger were husband and wife, I believe.
I live 4 miles from the hospital. Lots of hills and winding roads. We flew up the hills and a few times I thought we would go over the edge. Music blared out the open windows on this October night.
4 miles that went on forever. The fare was $ 40 !!! In Red Bluff ! I had been in the hospital for over a week, I didn’t have much money on me. They didn’t take credit cards. I had to raid my kids banks.
I was more upset with the hospital for putting me in this situation than the cab company.
Yet, I’m not sure I would call this place on my own. Not sure there’s another option in our town.
