A NEW taxi service is to start operating in the West Wight.
Britta Aggar is launching her own service, I cab, working from Freshwater from May 1.
She is a familiar face in Yarmouth having worked front of house at The George Hotel and The Bugle Coaching Inn over the last eight years.
Britta said: "Over the years, with the late hours I have done, I have found that I could not get a cab home for love nor money in the West Wight.
"I am hoping this service will be available at the right time and the right place.
"In time, I would like to have another cab on the road to help me out, but I will see how the business takes off.
"Recently, I have been working with Alpha Cabs in Newport to learn the ropes and the drivers, both male and female, have been fantastic.
"It is quite funny because when I turn up late at night to take home a group of lads they are quite intimidated when I jump out of the cab. They are shocked to see a female driver, even in this day and age they see that as a novelty.
"But they are great and, as I am a female driver, the elderly seem to trust me because they feel I am more patient.
"It's been a long haul to get this far, so I am thankful for the people who have supported me behind the scenes."
