Seniors Save on Taxi Rides

Seniors can save 50 percent on taxi trips from anywhere within the cities of Monterey, Seaside, Sand City and Del Rey Oaks.
   Through the City’s Taxi Scrip Program, seniors can purchase a $20 booklet of taxi scrip from the City for $10. Scrip is used like cash to pay for cab fare with the Yellow Cab Co. to travel within the designated cities. Seniors must be at least 65 and live in the Monterey City limits.
   Booklets are available at the Monterey Senior Center, Casanova Oak Knoll Park Center and at the City’s Recreation Administration Office.
