MOE Taxis has been a constant in the Moe/Newborough area as a reliable service of local drivers dating back to the middle of last century.
Following a night out or if you are simply in desperate need of a lift, it’s best to call upon people who you can trust, who know the area and will guide you to where you want to go.
When dealing with Moe Taxis, it’s a simple phone call away where you talk to fellow local people rather than indirectly organising transport through an app.
“When you call Moe Taxis, you’re speaking to someone from Moe (or the local area),” one taxi owner, Mick Breen, said.
Some drivers and staff have been with the business for decades like Daniel Troughton offering a friendly service to those in desperate need of a ride.
“We get good rapport with all of our customers because it’s pretty much (all) one-on-one. It’s a really comfortable, easy job to deal with the public of Moe and surrounding areas… It’s personal with all of us (drivers) because most of us know everyone’s name, (we) know their addresses,” said Mr Troughton, a 23-year taxi driver.
Moe Taxis’ most loyal customers come in the form of the elderly community who circle the CBD in need of a safe, pleasant drive home.
“We try to serve the elderly, I get along with all the elderly ladies and gentlemen we talk to personally, they want a good conversation,” Mr Troughton said.
A number of taxi services sprawled across the Moe district going back as far as the 1940s and 1950s; the companies that remained amalgamated in 2005 to become Moe Taxis.
To continue to offer their loyal assistance, they need the community’s assurance and support.
You can order a ride through Moe Taxis by dialling (03) 5127 1633 or 5127 5191.
Moe Taxis is not affiliated with any other taxi service in the Latrobe Valley area.
