Coeur d'Alene Taxi moving
Offering shuttles, charters, buses, limousines and, of course, taxis, Coeur d’Alene Taxi has moved from Fourth Street to 2320 Government Way (just over Interstate 90).
The company accommodates any occasion such as weddings, nights on the town, transportation to conventions and sporting events, standard taxi rides and charity work. This includes after-school programs, summer camps and Clothe A Child.
Owners Blaine and Svetlana Svetich and manager Renea Ferguson will launch the Choose Your Ride service with 10 to 20 taxis on the streets to curb drinking and driving. They have positions for drivers and dispatchers.
The company started in 2008 and plans to offer a water taxi and helicopter service. Phone 676-TAXI (8294). Check www.coeurdalenetaxi.com.
