Title: Pedicabs Downtown
Post by: JaxBikeTaxi on July 07, 2008, 10:07:14 PM
Hello.  My name is Dave and I own Jax Bike Taxi.  Right now we serve the beaches with service on Friday and Saturday nights, and Sunday afternoons.  We only go downtown whenever there is a big sporting event or concert.  I thought I would use this forum to put out a feeler for interest in a daily (Mon-Fri) pedicab service in downtown from 10am-4pm.  What do you guys think?  Would  pedicabs on downtown steets be a welcome service to commuters?

Thanks.

Welcome!

Personally, I think it could work, especially since there are zero taxi's there.

In addition, I think you should consider Friday & Saturday nights Downtown, especially connecting the Mark's Area to the Landing (could work)

It would be great to have a service between the Landing, Marks area, and London Bridge/Burrito Gallery area on Friday and saturday nights...

Dave...I 2nd that opinion - I think these 3 areas are a great idea.  i think it would be best to have twice the number of trips between Marks and BG/LB than between Marks and the Landing...due to the distance and probably demand between the locales.  did that make sense?
