Growing pains"CALGARY -- People in boomtown Alberta who hope to grab a cab to that party this holiday season had best start hailing ahead - by about three days. "
""I was told that if we didn't book, we might not get one," says Tim Richter, explaining why he began calling around on a Thursday for a taxi to take him to his Calgary-based company's party on a Saturday night."
"When I called them, they said the cab could be on time or it could be an hour and a half late - they couldn't guarantee the time." "
"While there are jobs a-plenty, the cost of living has soared. Office space and parking in downtown Calgary has eclipsed Toronto as the most expensive - and hardest to find - in Canada. "
