Telus makes the nice list with free rides, calls, this week


VANCOUVER – Telus is offering free taxi rides and phone calls this week to last minute shoppers or holiday party-goers in major cities across the country.

From December 18 to December 25, Telus-branded taxis will cruise the downtown cores of Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon and Toronto between 11 am and 11 pm providing free rides.  En route, passengers will also be offered a free holiday call anywhere in North America.

"The last week before the Holidays is hectic, holiday shoppers have their hands full between social commitments and picking out that perfect gift for their loved ones. We want to help make the holiday rush a little easier with a stress-free ride on us," said Anne-Marie LaBerge, VP, brand & marketing communications, in the announcement. "The holiday season is also a time to share with family and friends and we believe it’s important to connect with them, so we are also offering free calls on Telus’ 3G+ network while being driven home."
