want to interfere with the
service provided by pub-
lic transit.
Instead, he explained,
he hopes to supplement
that service, which can-
not guarantee individuals
will arrive at a their des-
tination at a specific time.
"They don't run after
dark," he said, "and
that's when there's a
need in this town."
The first rider on each
trip pays a flat $10 fee,
Hamm said, and each
additional passenger's
fee is $3. Rates for any
additional trips on the
same day are reduced to
$5 for the first passenger
while all other rates
remain unchanged.
Accepting his first cli-
ent Thursday, Hamm said
Crazy Cab began with a
fleet of two decommis-
sioned Palo Pinto County
Sheriff's Office cruisers.
A former employee of
the PPSO, he said he
designed the company's
dispatch center to operate
in an efficient manner as
does local law enforce-
ment.
"It's modeled really
closely to the way a
police department would
function," he said.
Currently serving any-
one inside city limits,
Hamm said his intent is
to support local business-
es. He said providing safe
transportation will not
only protect other motor-
ists by keeping intoxicat-
ed individuals from driv-
ing but will also free up
police.
"We tell people it's bet-
ter to take a ride in our
police car for $10 than a
car owned by the county
for $10,000," said

MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING
Hamm's sister and busi-
ness partner, Amber.
While his focus during
the holiday season is pre-
venting drunk driving, he
said he hopes to expand
the service to help the
community's elderly and
needy citizens.
He said voucher pro-
grams in some neighbor-
ing cities provide govern-
ment reimbursement for
cab operators transport-
ing Medicaid and
Medicare patients to and
from appointments. Such
a program would be a
great benefit to many
locals, he said, adding he
hopes to be able to incor-
porate that aspect into his
business.
Though his company
has been open just a few
days, Hamm said the ini-
tial response from locals
has been "overwhelm-
ing."
Picking up one of his
first clients at an area res-
taurant, he said several
customers left their meal
to walk outside and view
the cab.
"Everybody was so
amazed there was a taxi
in Mineral Wells," he
said.
Since the taxis have
already caught the atten-
tion of many locals,
Hamm said he plans to
offer advertising in the
future.
"We're turning so
many heads," he said,
"eventually we want the
cabs to have a NASCAR
look."
Local businesses have
also offered support, he
said, noting one restau-
rant has volunteered to
distribute his flyers with
all deliveries.
Hamm said anyone in
need of a ride or interest-
ed in advertising on his
cabs can call (940) 329-
8877.
