Florida company helps Iowa students make it home
Posted on Nov 08, 2009 by Admin.
IOWA CITY (AP) – A Florida company is offering University of Iowa students another option for getting home.
The company, University Cab Cash, is working with Iowa City-based Yellow Cab to issue debit cards to students that they can use to catch rides. Money can be added to the cards online, then riders swipe the card to pay a fare.
The company offers the service on about 50 campus areas nationwide. The area near the Iowa campus has had repeated problems with late-night assaults, prompting police and some business owners to increase patrols.
Company president Jason Willoughby says parents are usually the ones who buy the debit cards because they worry about their children. He says about 200 people in Iowa City have the cards.

Good idea!! My daughter would take a cab after she gets done working late at night but she is a product of her generation and never has cash on her. i would most certainly want her and her friends to use it if they go out at night. She is 24 years old and pays her own bills for those of you who jump conclusions.
