Louisville Transportation Company traces
its origins to 1893 where it began as the Louisville Carriage
Company. Through the years, the company merged with other
local transportation companies and underwent several name
changes. Today, Yellow Cab of Louisville, along with its sister
cab companies Cardinal Cab and Checker Cab, is the largest taxicab service in
the Greater Louisville area with over 250 taxis. The company
was acquired by Interlock Industries in 1982. Adding to our
taxicab division, Louisville Transportation Company acquired
United Transportation Company Inc. (UTI) in 1999. UTI, also
known as Yellow and Wildcat Cab, is the largest taxicab service
in the Lexington area and has over 85 taxis.
