No BS Here: Bull Taxis Offer Free Rides

2007_01_bulltaxi.jpg

If you see a cab with horns and fake brown-and-white fur, hail it! The Professional Bull Riders are offering free rides in special "bull taxis" to promote their invitational at Madison Square Garden this weekend. The Versus Invitational will showcase the "world's top 45 bull riders will clash against the best bulls in the industry," according the PBR website. All right, but those bull taxis are sort of awesome.

There are five bull taxis and the rides will be free through Sunday. And we have to hand it to the AP's Richard Pyle who, after writing that bull riding has been compared to NASCAR, added, "Whatever the similarities, they produce different kinds of exhaust."

Makes me want to find my neighborhood bull and ride it.

dammit! i was walking uptown and saw one, and didn't know what the heck it was...missed out on a free ride...

I saw these out in front of the Garden. A woman was hawking the free cab rides, and no one was taking her up on it! Some people stopped and asked her a couple of questions, but then moved on... to the long line at the cab stand.

Apparently no one believes you get something for nothing... especially from a guy in a get-up like that.
