Taxi Magic Surprises Los Angeles with 'Taxi Truth or Dare' Promo

LOS ANGELES, June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Taxi Magic, LA's #1 taxi app, dares residents of the City of Angels to hail a taxi this week as part of its Taxi Truth or Dare campaign.

Starting tomorrow, a few lucky Angelenos who book a ride with Taxi Magic will have a chance to play an improvisational truth-or-dare-style game with LA-based comedian Chris Fairbanks in return for a free taxi ride and a shot at other prizes.

As host of Taxi Magic's Taxi Truth or Dare, Fairbanks quizzes contestants on embarrassing "truths" about themselves or dares them to complete hilarious challenges like prank calling their parents and performing celebrity impressions.

Taxi Magic launched Taxi Truth or Dare on Thursday, June 5, and is continuing the promotion Wednesday, June 11 – Friday, June 13 between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. Anyone who randomly hails the Taxi Truth or Dare taxi in Los Angeles is rewarded with the chance to play. Players get their ride for free and have a chance at additional Taxi Magic credits, gift cards to local retailers, and other surprise rewards. Those who successfully hail the Taxi Truth or Dare taxi but don't want to play will still get a free ride, courtesy of Taxi Magic.

Taxi Truth or Dare is the latest in a series of recent events and promotions encouraging Los Angeles taxi-riders to try Taxi Magic's upgraded service in LA. Taxi Magic is quicker, easier and more reliable than street-hailing or phone dispatch, and anyone in LA who uses the Taxi Magic app is picked up in six minutes or less!

As an added bonus, Taxi Magic is offering $5 off for anyone in Los Angeles who uses promo code "TaxiTODLA" when booking a ride Wednesday, June 11- Sunday, June 15. The Taxi Magic app connects riders to more than 35,000 fully licensed and insured local taxi drivers nationwide—including more than 1,500 in LA. It is available for free on iOS and Android devices.
