Mine’s a taxi: nightclub to pay for patrons’ cabs

A CORK nightclub owner is launching a subsidised taxi service tomorrow night to take the stress — and some of the expense — out of getting home.

Colin Ross, the owner of the Liquid Lounge on Cork’s Marlboro Street, said he can guarantee his regulars that a taxi will turn up outside his venue during peak hours on Saturday nights — and he will pay €5 towards the total cost of the fare.

The pilot project, in partnership with Cork Taxi Co-Op, will start at his venue over Clancy’s pub tomorrow night and will run on a trial basis on Saturday nights only for several weeks.
