Tips To Find A Taxi After Your New Year’s Party

Before you even leave your house for a New Year’s party, police recommend making a plan for home you will safely make it back home.

Insert taxi phone numbers into your phone before you leave or download apps that can get you a ride home, such as Uber and Lyft.

Bluegrass Cab in Lexington expects to give between 1,200 and 1,500 rides the night of New Year’s, which makes it their busiest night of the year.

The high demand for rides will cause long hold times over the phone for booking a cab, so they recommend using their free app to book a ride.

Bluegrass Cab also said it will use its regular charging structure, but Uber said it will likely be in surge pricing.

Surge pricing is based on supply and demand. The higher the demand is for rides, the higher the ride cost will be.

The Uber app will clearly say if surge pricing is being used when you book your ride.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) has teamed up with Uber this year.

For each ride given by Uber, it will donate a dollar to MADD the night of New Year’s if the rider uses promo code, "MADDNYE."
