3 Ways the Taxi Magic App can Save Your Cash

Posted by Max on November 19th, 2009 in Ways to Save

Taxi Magic is a pretty cool iPhone app.

It’s directly integrated into taxi dispatch systems. It allows you to book a taxi via Web, iPhone, or BlackBerry. It works in San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, San Diego, and Washington, DC. It doesn’t make the taxi fare any cheaper. Nor do you get a discount of any sort. taxi magic

So how does it save you some cash?

Let’s say you stumble out of a bar after having a few drinks with friends or coworkers. Or, with holiday dinners around the corner, spending time with your date’s/partner’s/spouse’s family leads you to have an extra beer or glass of wine you may have otherwise not had.

Instead of smashing your car or getting a DUI, let’s say you cleverly pull out your handy-dandy little mobile computer. You know, the one you’re already addicted to anyway? Sure, they’ll think you’re sending a text or a tweet, but you’ll look like the coolest person ever in the history of the world, when — with just a few taps — you get that taxi to pull up out front and honk for you.

Not only can you can leave your annoying coworkers and that dysfunctional family in the dust, but you will save at least $2,000.

How?

Bail – Varies by state and by your background.
Court Costs – You can plan on at least a $1,000 in fines, fees, and then some.
Lawyer Fees – That’s $1,000. Easy. Even if it was all a set-up and you’re proven innocent, the lawyer still gets paid.

The free download is the better deal, don’t ya think?
