Solar eclipse 2017 checklist: Special viewing glasses in-hand for Monday's big event, check. Prime viewing spot all picked out, check. Way to get there without losing your mind fighting the hordes of traffic and hunting for a parking spot . . . Aargh!

Enter Lyft, which is offering 21 percent off on rides to a dozen metro Atlanta locations on Monday, August 21.

Ten of the destinations are top eclipse viewing locations here, ranging from the Georgia Tech Observatory in midtown Atlanta to the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville (see complete list below).

The other two? Proving that someone at ride-sharing service Lyft has a sense of humor (or just knows how much we Atlantans enjoy going out): The Eclipse de Luna restaurants in Buckhead and Dunwoody.
