WTOP’s Mark Segraves reported yesterday that Sober Ride, the free taxi service provided by the Washington Regional Alcohol Program on major holidays, will not operate on Inauguration Day. Can’t say we’re too surprised, given the fact that it’s usually impossible to take advantage of the service on a Halloween or New Year’s Eve, let alone on a day when the city is expecting upwards of 2 million visitors and almost half the city will be closed to vehicular traffic. It’s going to be hard enough to find a regular taxi on January 20; we can’t imagine anyone was expecting a free ride that day.
