Ultimate Taxi

Aspen’s Most Unforgettable Ride

Climb into Aspen’s grooviest ride—complete with laser lights, live music, and a storytelling driver who turns every ride into a psychedelic performance.

Forget everything you know about getting from point A to point B. The Ultimate Taxi is Aspen’s most unexpected and beloved hidden gem—a one-man, one-cab show operated by the legendary Jon Barnes. This tricked-out yellow cab is a kaleidoscope of lasers, lights, synthesizers, and yes—Jon himself playing live music while you cruise through town. Expect everything from Beatles covers to spontaneous jokes, all while surrounded by a neon galaxy of wonder.

Insider Insight

This isn’t something you flag down—it’s something you book in advance. The Ultimate Taxi is in high demand for special occasions, romantic nights, or just for the novelty of it all. The ride lasts about 45 minutes and includes photo ops, a personalized soundtrack, and an experience you’ll be talking about long after your Aspen après. Text or call Jon directly to reserve—he prefers it that way. And yes, tipping in applause is encouraged.


Only in Aspen can a taxi ride turn into a full-blown laser light show, concert, and comedy set—on wheels.”
