>> COUNTDOWN TO 2020: A guide to the best New Year’s Eve bashes in Dayton
We recommend planning in advance. Arrangements with a designated driver should be decided upon ahead of time, and it's always good to know what cab service you plan to use and to call ahead to confirm they can service your location and expected wait times on a busy night, and especially on a crazy busy weekend like this one. Also, expect price changes on high-volume nights.

2.) Cab Guys are a locally-owned transportation service, serving the southern Dayton suburbs. You can give them a call at 937-505-0222. Their general fee for the first three miles is $10; after that they charge an additional $2 a mile up to 30 miles (and $3 a mile after 30 miles). More info: Website | Facebook
5.) Lyft app. Like Uber, Lyft is an app service that matches you with a friendly local driver at the tap of a button. Download the app to get an estimate.
6.) Get an old-school designated driver. If calling a taxi or using Uber just isn't your thing, plan to assign yourself a sober, designated driver. These are the best kinds of drivers because they are reliable (we hope) and usually right there when you're ready to go. Please drink responsibly. Don't put yourself or other people on the road at risk. So drink and be merry — but above all, be safe.
