What could be better than getting around town for free – in a comfortable ride that’s entirely emissions-free? TerraCab offers pedal-powered rides around select cities, sponsored by companies so it’s entirely free to the riders. Seattle is TerraCab’s flagship location and headquarters, and more markets will be available soon.
TerraCab’s vehicles are compact and pedal-powered, with a rechargeable battery that powers the front headlights, back signal lights and helps get the vehicle up hills. They don’t need fossil fuels, and you’ll never see a cloud of nasty smoke coming out of them.
They’re also hiring right now in Seattle, so if you’ve got strong calf muscles and an urge to work outdoors – and chat with people all day – this could be a really fun job. Email jobs@terracab.com if you’re interested.
Hopefully this idea will catch on! It would be a great addition to so many cities. It would help lighten traffic and reduce air pollution – two things that most cities desperately need help with. TerraCabs is currently seeking sponsors for Portland, LA, NYC, San Francisco, Vancouver, Chicago, Dallas, Denver and Atlanta – so it may be available near you before you know it.
