New
York
(ANI):
Sean
Combs,
known
by
his
stage
name
P
Diddy,
is
putting
forward
his
wallet
to
pay
for
the
cab-fare
to
help
drunkards
get
home
safely
on
New
Years
Eve.
The
American
rapper
is
set
to
team
up
with
New
York's
Taxi
&
Limousine
Commission
to
give
away
thousands
of
debit
cards,
worth
15
dollars,
for
taxi
rides
to
welcome
2009.
"New
York
is
the
world's
most
iconic
New
Year's
Eve
city,
so
let's
lead
by
example
and
show
everyone
that
a
sophisticated
holiday
celebration
doesn't
just
end
when
the
ball
drops,
but
when
everyone
gets
home
safely," the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
Combs
as
saying.
The
debit
cards,
which
can
be
redeemed
for
single
taxi
rides,
would
be
distributed
in
Times
Square
and
in
Chelsea
as
the
clock
strikes
11
pm
on
the
night
of
December
31.
They
would
be
available
for
grabs
until
3
am
New
Year's
Day,
or
until
the
supply
lasts.
