Black & White Transportation Introduces iPhone App
HOMEWARD BOUND
Black & White Transportation introduces iPhone app to help get there safely
TOLEDO, Ohio – January 13, 2010 – "There's no place like home."
That phrase has withstood the test of time, as it was more than 70 years ago
when Dorothy first spoke those words. And now, getting home safely after a
night of fun, frivolity and libations is a whole lot easier – thanks to Black &
White Transportation's new B4UDRIVE application for iPhones.
The free application calculates your blood alcohol content (BAC) by taking
into account your gender, your weight, the number of drinks you've had and
what you've been drinking based on the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) standards. If the results reveal that you're best
leaving the driving to someone else, touching an icon on the screen will
identify if you're within the Black & White Transportation service area and
connect you directly to its 24-hour dispatch center (if you are not within the
service area, the number for the nearest cab company will be provided).
Once connected, you can opt to have one of Black & White's expertly trained,
certified drivers take you home. Concerned about leaving your vehicle? Just
specify Black & White Home, and two drivers will be dispatched – one to
drive you and your car, the other to return the driver to his cab.
"Getting behind the wheel after one too many can turn a good time into a
nightmare in a matter of seconds," said Scott Potter, Black & White
Transportation owner. "A DUI can not only ruin your driving record and your
reputation, but can lead to thousands of dollars in fines and court costs – not
to mention the risk to yourself and others. When you're having a good time,
it can be very easy to over-celebrate. But, you still have to make the right
choices, and the B4UDRIVE app can help with that."
The application is also a quick link to all of Black & White Transportation
offerings. Be it to a company gathering or a ride to the airport, Black &
White Sedan lets you arrive and depart in style – and there's no need to
worry about the consequences of "just one more." Don't have an iPhone?
That's okay – Black & White's mobile online reservation system, at
http://www.bwcab.com, is accessible from any Web-enabled phone.
Looking for a unique gift idea? Be it through gift cards or the pre-paid
service program, a free ride from Black & White Transportation is an ideal
way to show you care.
"Our job is to keep you safe," Potter continued. "All of our drivers are
required to undergo an extensive background check and be certified in our
training programs. We call it dignified transportation with the highest level
of service."
A high level of service and professionalism that will get you home safe and
sound.
