Calling all you downtown working girls (think Melanie Griffith in Working Girl, not Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman). Did you know that any cab ride within downtown Houston costs only $6? Yep, it's true. Why? Glad you asked. As part of an effort to offer an alternative to current daytime mass transit options in Houston, the Mayor's office wants you to commute faster and at a flat rate.

Use a cab to get thee to the office OR better yet, hit up that happy hour after work (No DUI worries, here!) If you are in the 713, be sure to RSVP to Yellow Cab or United Cab - two of the companies looking to upgrade its fleet to more sustainable hybrid cars! Share a ride with a co-worker/friend and save even more green ($ and energy)! This is like having a personal driver - oh, wait it IS a personal driver!
