Beck Taxi supports MADD Canada with re-loadable Card Launch

Paying for a Beck Taxi just got easier as Beck announces the launch of Beck Bucks, a fully re-loadable card and secure payment solution for Toronto passengers.

The card launch and holiday campaign aim to give back in support of renowned charity Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD Canada). How it works: One hundred Toronto women in business will receive complimentary pay-and-go Beck Bucks cards and Beck Buck hats and scarves.

"We're excited to partner with MADD Canada in order to raise awareness and help Torontonians get home safely this holiday season," Kristine Hubbard, Operations Manager at Beck Taxi.
