New Year’s Eve is the night to end the year in celebration. But with crowds, alcohol and limited transport options, planning your ride can be a challenge. In this article, we explain why it is important to book a taxi in advance and quickly with CTD Taxi, and the risks of other options.
Beware of dangerous behaviour caused by alcohol
On New Year’s Eve, many people drink more alcohol than usual. Unfortunately, this leads to a high number of road accidents every year:
- Alcohol increases the risk of accidents: Studies show that driving under the influence significantly reduces your ability to react.
- More alcohol checks: The police are extra vigilant during New Year’s Eve, and rightly so. With a taxi, you don’t have to worry about this. You enjoy yourself carefree and get home safely.
- Protect yourself and others: By taking a taxi, you reduce the chances of you or others becoming victims of drunk drivers.
NMBS: limited and often problematic
Trains seem like an eco-friendly option, but they are not always practical, especially on a busy party night like New Year’s Eve:
- Limited number of trains: NMBS offers a modified timetable, but many trains do not run or run less frequently after midnight.
- No flexibility: Trains have fixed times, meaning you have to leave your party or wait for a late connection.
- Less comfortable: Trains are often overcrowded, especially after big events.
Don’t be frightened by rogue taxis and high fares
During busy nights like New Year’s Eve, there are unfortunately companies and individuals who take advantage of the situation:
- Fake taxis: Some ‘drivers’ offer illegal rides without a licence. This can be unsafe.
- Ridiculously high prices: Without a reservation, you are often at the mercy of drivers who charge sky-high prices. With CTD Taxi, you always know in advance what you will pay.
- No guarantees: Unregistered taxis offer no guarantee of safe and reliable service.
Why Uber is not an ideal choice
Uber may seem like a convenient alternative, but during New Year’s Eve, prices shoot through the roof due to their ‘dynamic pricing’ system. Moreover:
- Are drivers often overbooked: Like regular taxis, Uber drivers also struggle with limited availability on busy nights.
- Does Uber offer no personal service: At CTD Taxi, we guarantee a driver who knows the local area and will make sure you get home quickly and comfortably.
- Is the price unpredictable: A fare that normally costs €20 can easily go up to €100 or more on New Year’s Eve.
Shuttles: not a flexible solution
Shuttle buses are often promoted as a cheap option, but they have considerable limitations:
- No door-to-door service: You often have to walk or take a taxi to get home.
- Uncomfortable travel: Shuttles are often crowded and do not offer the same privacy or luxury as a taxi.
- Tight schedules: If your plans change or your party runs out, a shuttle is not a flexible option.
