Boost Mobile's taxi services comes in handy today

March 17, 2009/Joe Pawlikowski

Boost Mobile subscribers, they have their #TAXI (#8294) service. While this normally carries a fee, tomorrow it will be free. So eat, drink, be merry, and most of all, be safe. There’s no reason not to. I’ll leave the description to Eric Zeman, who wrote up the service for InformationWeek:

#Taxi connects Boost subscribers to an interactive voice response system or live agent. All they need to say is the name of the city they are in, or the name of a taxi company of choice to be instantly connected. No wait and no busy signal. The service works in every city and major town across the United States — more than 2,000 within Boost Mobile’s network coverage area.
Not bad. Thankfully, if you’re celebrating in a big city you should have easy access to public transit. That, of course, means subway cars and trains full of singing drunkards. But since it’s just one day a year, it’s welcome. ]]>
