Cite specifics. As of March 10th, what you say is false. Michgian Flyer arranges the cabs; it's not random cab lines. HUGE difference.

Wow, you sure get defensive about the MI Flyer.
Dude, I like it, and I take it every single time I go home or come back to
MSU.
The last time I took it was March 9th, so you got there a day later... I'm pretty sure they didn't just change their policies or whatever. Sounds like you got lucky. I've taken the Michigan Flyer to East Lansing 4 times. Every time it was a random catch out of the cabs that showed up. In January of this year I had to wait in the freezing cold for about 20 minutes before a cab that I could take showed up.
Yes, I realize I just got unlucky that one time. And yes, I realize that MI Flyer calls the cabs and tells them to be there, but I never experienced this personalized service you talk about. When I rode the MI Flyer, the company called a bunch of cabs, they showed up, and then people (MI Flyer customers) dealt with the cab drivers.
I really have no idea why you get so defensive about it. As I said, I think it is great service and certainly recommend it. I was never asked by any MI Flyer employees (or the owner) if I needed a taxi though (nor do I expect them to).
