Lack of cabs have never caused me to DD, but I can see how it would for many and as this thread has proved, better transportation options does fix the problem. |
Bang on, Phanutier.
Half the reason why I'm a decided downtowner... I live in Bankview and can walk to 17th, where me and the gang tend to hang out.
DDs? Yeah, I've got one or two friends that don't drink, or will volunteer to be the DD. What usually happens there is that that person will not be having a very good time and eventually he gets relieved of duty and the rest of us decide to cab it.
Not go to the bar at all? Or in my case, tonight, skip a house party. Because it's in Evergreen. No way in hell I'll get a cab from Evergreen tonight, so I guess I'm going to stay home and whine about how pathetic the cab sitch is in this city.
