SAFETY, SECURITY AND EFFICENCY ARE OUR MISSION.

At Gotham Cab, we seek to provide you with personalized service.

About Us: Gotham Cab was established on Valentine’s Day, 1995 on Karl and Mary Breitup’s 10th wedding anniversary. We started with three cabs. Since then we’ve grown, adding more cabs and more drivers. It’s a family company.

Gotham Cab is now offering free taxi service within The Narrows and the Gotham City Rail destruction zone. Simply present your transfer ticket to any Gotham Cab. If you need pick-up, give us a call.

Community Action - Gotham Cab was a sponsor of last year’s PAL Picnic. The Police Athletic League is a free youth program featuring sports, education and trips for children age 6 to 18

- Gotham Cab provides transportation for the Gotham Fire Department/Shriners week long summer camp for burn scarred children.

- Gotham Cab is a proud sponsor of the West Harlow Tigers. Support soccer in Gotham!

Under the new requirement by Gotham City Council, all recovered properties found onboard taxis will be kept for up to three months. If unclaimed within three months, these items will be donated to a local charity.

Clicking on "Gotham City Rail destruction zone" (a reference to Batman Begins) brings up a map showing the destroyed area in red. This map would later be used for Whysoserious.com/Theperfectgetaway.

Phone number

November 23, 2007

Upon calling the taxi service number (1-877-530-2227), an automatic message advertises the ability of Gotham Cabs to take you to all parts of town, then the participant will be told that all lines are busy, and then prompted to either leave a message or enter an administrator PIN number. Punching in #6773 (Lt. Karl Breitup's badge number found on Wearetheanswer.org) will reveal an audio message (listen at youtube):

Don't worry about all this stuff in the papers. Now I'm told Garcetti is handling it. Rossi called me this morning. He's got more work. Double the payment. Sounds good, right? If anyone comes to us with questions, we've just got to keep our mouths shut. Understand?

Karl Breitup is one of the founding members of the Gotham Cab Company, which was established on his 10th wedding anniversary (February 14th, 1995 or 2/14/1995)..


November 30, 2007

Calling the taxi service number results in the discovery of a second audio message (listen to both messages on ZShare):

Hey Breitup, Listen up, you and your partner should come by Betty's House of Pies, come on our regular time on Saturday. The waitress will have that special just for you...know what I mean?


March 26, 2008

A new audio message is left on the Gothamcab.com voicemail system. announcing the suspension of service. (Zshare download link for the entire updated message)

(Welcome message, possibly recorded by Mary Breitup)

Hello. This is Gotham Cab. We...shut down and...no, we're not talking to the press. I can't thank all of you enough for the contributions to our trial fund. Goodbye and...God bless.

(Voicemail message, possibly left by Jeremiah Steinburger, the Breitup family lawyer)

Yeah, Mary. I'm gonna be filin' the motion that seizure of assets places undue burden on the family. But uh, as I told you at our meeting yesterday, I...don't expect much to come of it. But I promise, we won't give up. Call me anytime.
