 If you need a ride home on Halloween, dial 1-800-200-TAXI and you'll get a free cab ride throughout the Washington area. (File Photo) |
On Friday, Oct. 31, if you need a ride home between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m., dial 1-800-200-TAXI and you'll get a taxi. (AT&T Wireless users can dial #TAXI.) As long as your fare is under $50, the program pays for it. If it's more than $50, you pay the difference. Simple and safe.
Now, for the fine print:
You must be 21 to use SoberRide.
You can't reserve a taxi for a future time -- you have to call when you need one. (Although you should probably allow at least 30-60 minutes for it to arrive.)
SoberRide will not pick you up at your house and take you to a bar or a party. They will, however, drive you home.
All calls must originate in one of the following jurisdictions:
Maryland: Montgomery and Prince George's counties, including the cities of Rockville, Bowie, College Park, Gaithersburg, Greenbelt and Takoma Park.
Virginia: Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William and eastern Loudoun counties, as well as the cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, Fairfax, Manassas and Manassas Park.
Washington: Anywhere in the city.
