This year more than ever, there’s no excuse for drinking and driving on New Year’s Eve.In addition to the Great Bend Police Department’s annual volunteer taxi service, Barton County now has a commercial taxi service.Those who need a ride home after celebrating can call 620-639-TAXI (639-8294). Once again, Great Bend Police Chief Dean Akings and Sgt. Gary Davis will drive people home for no charge, going anywhere in Barton County. A $5 donation is suggested to the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program.
