Wait! Before You Head Out for NYE, Let Patch Help Get You Home

If you plan to drink on New Year's Eve, we hope you'll plan not to drive, and instead use public transportation, cabs, or trains to arrive back home to your final destination, safe and sound.

Patch wants to be sure you make it home safe and sound after all your New Year's Eve revelry.  We rounded up a short list of numbers for taxicab companies in the area. You might want to write these down before you head out for the evening. We hope you'll be safe and put these digits to good use.

  • McNamara Cab Company (708)499-5777
  • Tinley Taxi (708)778-3333
  • American Taxi (708)424-7878
  • Metro Cabs (708)829-4222

If you lose your list, you can find the nearest taxicab company in your calling area by dialing #TAXI (#-8-2-9-4). You don't need to know the name of cab company and the service helps avoid busy signals at peak times. #TAXI is available for $1.25 to $1.79 per call, depending on the wireless carrier. It takes no money from taxicab companies. #TAXI makes it easy to get home safely.

If you need to travel a bit further than a cab ride away, check the Metra schedule before you go.
