Please check my sentences.

1) My office cab was half an hour late.
2) My office cab was late by half an hour.
 
They are fine. Does the cab belong to your office? I find it strange that an office owns a cab.
 
My cab/taxi to work was half an hour late.

As ted said, "office cab" isn't natural. In the case of your sentence, there's no need for anyone to know who booked/paid for the cab. The only relevant things are that the cab was taking you to work and it was late.
