Mt. Hood Taxi: Service With a Smile

By Ty Walker

Dennis Bachman started Mt. Hood Taxi service just a few years ago with one old car, a Ford Taurus. He was retired and wanted something to keep him busy during the end of the Covid pandemic.
When he added a second car, he recruited a friend and neighbor from Welches to join him as a driver. Together, they provide taxi service with a personal touch to the Mount Hood community.
“We’re both retired,” Bachman said. “We’re both elderly. We’re doing this as a service more than a business.”
Mt. Hood Taxi takes reservations 24 hours a day by phone or text at 503-750-2010. Services include round trip and one way to Portland International Airport, Timberline Lodge and all Mount Hood resorts, event venues, as well as weddings and custom tours.
Bachman said he provides services to the community that other businesses are not providing.
“If you reserve with me, I will come and go and do what you need,” Bachman said.
Bachman recently took a man to the Portland VA and waited during his appointment to give him a ride home.
