NOW THAT CHRISTMAS IS WRAPPED UP, THE NEXT BIG HOLIDAY TO LOOK FORWARD TO IS New Year's Eve. 

 THAT MEANS PLENTY OF PEOPLE HEADING OUT TO CELEBRATE WITH A DRINK. 

WITH JUST ONE TAP OF YOUR FINGER YOU CAN ORDER AN UBER OR LYFT and DRIVERS SAY THAT IF YOU'RE GOING OUT ON NEW YEARS EVE, THERE'S NO EXCUSE NOT TO CALL A SAFE RIDE HOME.

"IT'S CHEAPER, IT'S SAFER, GET HOME, GO OUT AND ENJOY YOUR EVENING," says Ron Thornton, a driver for Uber. "don't have to worry about getting pulled over, getting in an accident. you know you get to see another year."

THorton says he's confident that there will be enough drivers in Erie to pick people up. 

PEGGY ALLIN, PRESIDENT OF HANSEN'S Errand services SAYS THAT SHE'S THANKFUL TO HAVE UBER DRIVERS TAKING ON THE PARTY CROWD.

"WE'RE TRANSPORTATION BY APPOINTMENT", Allin says. "SO WE REALLY DON'T DO THE WHOLE New year's eve BAR SCENE". 

Again, drivers SAY THAT GETTING AN UBER OR LYFT AFTER A NIGHT OUT IS THE SAFEST WAY TO AVOID GETTING PULLED OVER OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.
