Celebratory use of cell phones during New Year's Eve

On New Year's Eve, booking a taxi in advance is common practice, but it's essential to remember that these bookings cannot be fulfilled before the day itself due to the increased passenger volume. This means that having a free phone line to the taxi dispatcher on New Year's Eve is rare.

If you find yourself in need of a ride on this special night, it's important to follow some safety guidelines. Running in front of a passing taxi is not advisable as the driver will only stop if free. Arguing with the taxi driver about the fare is also not appropriate, similar to arguing at a supermarket checkout. Pushing at the taxi stand is pointless and can be unsafe. Passengers should stay on the sidewalk.

In recent years, the Silvesterbummler service from Südwestbus has been a popular alternative. This service offers buses running on main lines throughout the city, with schedules available on the Südwestbus website. It's worth noting that only a small number of taxi orders are entered into the computer in the taxi center on New Year's Eve, making the Silvesterbummler service a more reliable alternative.

Carpooling with other passengers going in the same direction can reduce waiting times and allow for fare splitting. However, it's important to note that there are no specific publicly available details about the Südwestbus routes operating in Pforzheim on New Year's Eve based on the current search results.

Fare prices within the city limits are usually charged by the hour, and there are fixed prices for surrounding villages. If a taxi passes the taxi stand, it may already have passengers or be on its way to another customer.

In conclusion, while taxis can be a convenient option, the increased demand on New Year's Eve can make them less reliable. The Silvesterbummler service from Südwestbus might be a more reliable alternative, but it's essential to plan ahead and check the schedules available on the Südwestbus website.
