As the Crow Flies

The straightest line in town

"As the crow flies" is the old way of describing the shortest distance between two points — a straight line, no detours, no wrong turns. It's how you measure the real distance between where you are and where you need to be. It's also, as it happens, a fair description of a good taxi ride: the most direct way there, by someone who already knows the route.

That's the promise in our name. Call CK Taxi and you're not explaining the back roads to anyone. Our drivers know Chatham-Kent the way the crow knows it — every concession road, every shortcut, the quickest line from your door to wherever you're headed.

A town that knows its crows

If you've spent a winter dusk anywhere in Chatham-Kent, you've seen them: crows gathering by the thousand as the light goes, settling into the trees like the town's own punctuation. They've been part of the landscape here for as long as anyone can remember — enough that Chatham-Kent has learned to celebrate them rather than shoo them off.

Crows are clever, local, and unbothered by the weather. They know the ground better than anyone, and they're out in every season. We couldn't have picked a better bird to fly under.

The direct route — and the local one.

Around the clock, around Chatham-Kent

So when we say "as the crow flies," we mean it two ways. The direct route — the fastest line down every road in the municipality. And the local one — a service that's woven into the place, out in all of it, day or night, the way the crows are.

Next time you need a ride, you know who to call.
