Maylee Martin is working to line up financing to buy Tiny’s Taxi and its vehicle, but until that comes though she is offering to give people rides for a donation.
Tiny’s Taxi closed down last month, and Martin stepped in to provide donation-only rides when and where she can, while working toward setting up her own business.
Tiny’s was the only taxi service in Wrangell.
“I’m just doing this until … I get the loan I need,” she said last week of her work with a financial institution under a state loan program.
She plans to call her new business Lady Driver.
Until she becomes official, there are no set hours, and she would appreciate it if people could call or text in advance so that she can schedule her time on the road (907-660-7102).
So far, donations are covering gas and insurance costs, she said.
Martin drove for Johnny Cab in Wrangell for two years and also drove for Tiny’s for a couple of years.
