From Bill’s Taxi Service To A&A Metro Transportation

A&A Metro Transportation has been a family run business based in Bridgewater, MA for over 60 years. In 1952, Bill Arrighi was a recent World War II veteran in search of steady work when a friend recommended he start a cab company. Shortly thereafter, Bill borrowed a loaner car from a local dealership, and Bill’s Taxi Service was born. In the following decades, Bill’s Taxi turned into a family affair with the Arrighi’s kitchen and parlor becoming the company’s headquarters. Bill’s wife Dot and their 5 children took turns answering phones at all hours of the day and night, recording pick-up requests on a piece of paper and leaving them under a rock in Bridgewater center for Bill to read when he was done with his day job. Employees of the company became additional members of the family, spending time and sharing meals in between runs. This is how Bill’s Taxi continued to operate until 1988 when Bill’s son’s Mike and Tom purchased the company. By 1991 Bill’s Taxi Service had changed it’s corporate name to A&A Metro Transportation and opened up a new office and garage at their current location on Bedford St. in Bridgewater, MA. Since that move from the family home, A&A Metro’s growth has been exponential; expanding from a small town cab company to a global transportation leader. All the while, the family atmosphere has remained the same.
