Introducing the Culture of Taxiing Safely Back Home

Taxi Night is a new party concept created by Kunhadi in 2007, whereby party attendees are prohibited from using their own cars. Instead, Kunhadi offers them free Taxi rides from their houses to the venue and back to their houses safely.

This party, which takes place at the most prestigious night clubs in Lebanon, was created in the purpose of promoting the use of Taxi cars after a night out drinking instead of driving under the influence of alcohol.

What makes this awareness method more influential than other more classic ones is the experience it offers the youth. I.e. the guests experience for themselves the benefits of using a taxi car for transportation:
-    Saves on Valet parking fees, which are mandatory in almost all night clubs in Lebanon
-    Relieves the driver of worry that originates from finding a parking or handing the car over to the Valet
-    Permits guests to consume alcohol more comfortably without being disturbed by driving under the influence of alcohol  

Although Kunhadi offers free Taxi rides, guests are encouraged to drink moderately, avoid excessive alcohol consumption, and drinking water.

What started with as little as 100 attendees in 2007 grew to become a party that joins over 1000 young and older Lebanese guests in 2013, despite the sensitive security situation.

The success Taxi Night was met with by the Lebanese community formed a catalyst to the introduction of the culture of using Taxi cars after a night of drinking and year after year more and more parties starting adding Taxi fares to their tickets.

Proceeds collected from Taxi Night fund road safety projects by Kunhadi: installation of retro-reflective markings, installation of safe crossings, etc.
