A couple of things: First the Honda Civic is too small for standard airport Transportation. Too many people too much lugge. Second STITA hs no cabs legally authorized to work in Seattle. The are only Licensed for King Count outside of seattle. There around 850 Licensed Cabs combined for Seattle and King County. Some not lgal fo Seattle, some not Legal for Suburban King County and most not legal to stand at the Airport. And in case anyone is interested Tacoma, Pierce County, Fife, Orting, Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, Everett, Marysville, Bremerton have their own licenses and restrictions to name a few.

"Is there a reason the Port didn't just buy Civics?" umm, perhaps b/c that'd be a damm small taxi?

Every time I've taken a cab from the airport this Autumn, the driver complains about what a hassle the natural gas requirement is. Only being able to fill up at the airport and the limited post-conversion trunk space seem to be among the chief gripes.
