But no, they waited till then to say there are no taxis there."And they said, 'Look, we can call up a driver and try and wake one up … we'll try our best to do that.'"Mr Frick said nurses gave him a blanket while he waited in the hospital's waiting room and later were able to provide him with a cubicle in the emergency department where he had treatment earlier.The patient said he went through a "rollercoaster of emotions" and was exhausted waiting on a cold night."I'm thinking the longest I've ever had to wait is maybe about 45 minutes, but nothing like this .. I've definitely broke some records I'll give it that," he said.Mr Frick said he originally planned to stay home until a surgery scheduled for Wednesday but he has since been re-admitted into hospital.A spokesperson for Access Taxis, which is operated by Suburban Taxis, said they were unable to provide a response to Mr Frick's case.SA Transport Minister Joe Szakacs said it was "disappointing" to hear of Mr Frick's "poor experience ordering an access taxi".The state government brought in a range of reforms to the industry last year, such as banning passengers from requesting specific access taxi drivers."Average wait times for all access taxis users was eight minutes in March of this year and there were 10 per cent more vehicles on the road during dedicated hours compared to the same time last year," Mr Szakacs said."We’ve also recently expanded the number of subsidised trips from 80 to 100 in any six-month period for SATSS [South Australian Transport Subsidy Scheme] card holders
