Over the years several taxi services have helped Covington area residents get from one place to another. Some of the many taxi cab companies that have served Covington over the years included Holden's, Schech, Hyatt's, LeBlanc's, Ralph's and Rick's. In 1931, it was Harry Kron.
Taxi service was important throughout the community, especially in 1946 when the city police had to use a taxi to get to scenes of reported crime. The city didn't have a police car of its own at that time.
In 1950 trip prices were raised 50 cents, and in 1959 the prices were raised once again.
Discounts were offered to senior citizens, however.
