During the Christmas weekend, the combination of Metro running on a reduced schedule and D.C. not enforcing parking regulations might mean more people choosing to drive to and from various parties and bars. That said, we’d like to remind everyone that SoberRide, the program which provides free cab rides during various holidays throughout the year, is back in effect. Between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. today and tomorrow (as well as on New Year’s Eve and Day), you can call 1-800-200-TAXI and a cab will be dispatched to your location with up to $30 in free fare on the meter. Last December, the program provided 3,178 rides around the region.
