Get a free ride if you party too much on Halloween
If you get extra happy and drink too much during your Halloween festivities, you can get a free taxi ride through the state "Tipsy? Taxi!" campaign.
Just call 1-877-963-TAXI and Yellow Cab will provide you a free ride (worth up to $50) home. The rides will be offered from 10 p.m. Halloween night to 4 a.m. November 1. You have to be at least 21 to use the service and must have been drinking at a Baltimore City bar or restaurant.
In Fell’s Point, where many of the streets will be closed to traffic due to the anticipated crowds, bar patrons who call the Tipsy?Taxi! number can meet their cabs at Thames and Caroline streets. There will be a Tipsy?Taxi! sign and a Yellow Cab representative at the designated waiting spot.Tipsy?Taxi! is a project with The Maryland Department of Transportation's State Highway Administration, AAA-MidAtlantic and Yellow Cab begun in 2006 to combat drunk driving on holidays associated with heavy alcohol consumption. More than 150 people died in drunk-driving related activities in Maryland last year.
