IT’S FREE OR LOW COST CAB RIDES HOME OVER THE WEEKEND IN ALBUQUERQUE AS WE CELEBRATE ST. PATRICK’S DAY ON SATURDAY. THE RIDES FROM UBER START FRIDAY AFTERNOON AT 4 O’CLOCK AND END AT 4AM SUNDAY. IT’S AN EFFORT TO GET YOU HOME SAFELY IF YOU’VE HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK OVER THESE TWO DAYS.
THE UBER RIDES ARE BEING OFFERED BY UBER, BERNALILLO COUNTY, THE STATE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT, DAVITA MEDICAL GROUP AND OUR PARENT COMPANY, CUMULUS.
UBER RIDES USUALLY RUN ABOUT 10 DOLLARS … SO IF YOU PAY NOTHING IF THE RIDE HOME COMES TO THAT. IF IT’S MORE, YOU PAY THE DIFFERENCE. BERNALILLO COUNTY KICKED IN 55-THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE UBER RIDES HOME, USING FUNDS FROM LIQUOR EXCISE TAXES.
