Union Cab of Madison Cooperative

Welcome to Union Cab of Madison Cooperative!

In 1979,  a small band of drivers, dispatchers and mechanics joined together to prove that workers can successfully manage their own destiny and run a quality cab service. Today, Union Cab has over 220 member-owners providing quality transportation services to South-Central Wisconsin, leadership to the growing worker cooperative movement and continuing the cooperative tradition of self-help, democracy, and solidarity.

Union Cab Bus Wrap Wins Addy Award

March 7, 2009 3:09 PM

Last year, the folks at Adams Outdoor Advertising made us an offer we couldn't refuse. Many Madisonians saw the giant Union Cab on the side of Madison Metro Bus #897 over the last several months. That ad won the Silver Award for "Out of Home Mass Transit, Exterior". It is considered the incorporation of the host vehicle into the ad (the front wheel of bus was the front wheel of the taxi). Congratulations to the artistic team of Jessica Laycock, Tina Rataj, Evan Schultz, Jeff Schjleis, and Sharon Vanomy!

Getting a Cab at the Airport

August 4, 2006 10:22 PM

Drivers may not solicit you at the Dane Co. Airport. Passengers may choose any taxi company or driver that they wish. Passengers do not have to take the first cab in line. It is your choice to take a Union Cab even if we are the second or tenth cab in line. We hope that you choose us, but the choice is yours no matter what the driver waiting at the door tells you.
