Boro Taxis has produced a top 10 of its Teesside customers’ favourite destinations.
And it appears that watching a film, eating out and a night at the pub are the favoured leisure pursuits for the firm's clientele.
The firm, which handles between 70,000 and 80,000 jobs per week, has come up with a cabbie’s guide to Teesside’s destination hotspots, based on the calls it receives.
And it seems many people are heeding advice to take a taxi when out socialising rather than risk drink-driving.
The Boro Taxis top 10 - which are all in Middlesbrough - is:
1. Cineworld, Marton Road
2. Swatters Carr pub, Linthorpe Road
3. Akbars Indian Restaurant, Linthorpe Road
4. Al Fornos Italian restaurant, Southfield Road
5. Lloyds bar, Newport Crescent
6. Walkabout, Corporation Road
7. The Empire Nightclub, Corporation Road
8. The Keys, Linthorpe Road
9. Sopranos Pizzas, Wilson Street
10. Pig Iron pub, Corporation Road
Eddie Gershon, a spokesman for J D Wetherspoon, which owns the Swatters Carr, said the chain was delighted at the popularity of the Swatters.
“We also are delighted that our customers are acting responsibly and taking a cab to and from the pub throughout the week,” he added.
Mohammed Bashir, founder of the firm, which employs nearly 900 people and has 750 cars in its fleet, said: “Our level of bookings, which totals up to 80,000 calls a week, clearly demonstrates that Teessiders like to get out and about and make the most of their spare time.
“Our research has found that our customers have an appetite for eating out, going to see the latest blockbuster movies and meeting up with their friends at the pub.
"It also captures what a great place Teesside is when it comes to having a good night out.”
