How to avoid surge pricing on New Years Eve 🚗🎉

The last day of 2017 is near. If you already know your New Year's resolution and want to be extra productive, pick up one of Scribd's 12 Books to Help You Keep Your New Year’s Resolution here.

For the rest of us, strategically planning a way to survive New Year's Eve surge pricing may take precedence, and we're here to help.

🎈Lyft: The most convenient way of hailing a Lyft (for developers) is via command line. The menubar app is a good alternative, followed by Lyft's mobile app.

🎩 Uber: Uber's flying car has yet to arrive, but at least we have the Uber Beacon so you can identify which Prius is yours. Pro tip: Use this to request an Uber via SMS when you're in an area with low connectivity.

💵 How to Save Money: Cut the Surge helps you save money by taking an Uber at the right place at the right time. The app highlights areas around you with lower or no surge pricing. If that doesn't work use Surge Protector to summon an Uber to the nearest non-surging location.

From the entire Product Hunt Team, we wish you a happy new year! 🎉
