A new cab company, Supercab, has been launched in Yamhill County by the husband-and-wife duo of Jason Winner and Melissa Lynn.

Based in Lafayette but serving all of the county, Supercab features a fleet of four cabs, all metered. They are available around the clock.

Winner said the drivers have passed background checks, drug screens and Department of Motor Vehicle tests. The company charges fares comparable to those in the Portland and Salem areas, he said.

Customers may pay with cash, debit cards or VISA, MasterCard or Discover charge cards. Reloadable ride cards also are available.

As a community service, drivers will work for tips only on the Christmas and New Year’s holidays to transport people who may have indulged in too much celebration, Winner said. The 24-hour phone number is 503-714-4224.
