Could you help me?

I wonder whether the following sentence sounds natural.
Could you check it?
Thank you.

There was a taxi coming in good season when we needed it.

"In good season" means "When I need it, it appeared." How about this?

A taxi came just in time when I needed it.

Try, "There was a taxi arriving just when we needed it." or perhaps, "There was a taxi coming right when we needed one."

Hi,

It's OK, but doesn't 'just in time' already imply that you needed it'?

I think redundancy is not much an issue in spoken English....When marking college writing, of course, it is an issue.
