This May 1st, 28 Eco Cabs will make their way onto Toronto, CA. streets and provide an unrivaled form of urban transportation. The Eco Cab is a pedal-powered taxi with rechargeable batteries that can reach a top speed of 12km/hour.
The environmentally friendly taxi is designed to reduce traffic congestion and vehicle emissions. The Eco Cab is funded completely by corporate advertisers so the ride is totally free! Torontonians will be able to enjoy a fast commute to special events, while doing their part to help the environment. In return, drivers acting on behalf of the advertisers will interact with riders while on route, offering them information and product samples. Go Mobile Media is an inventive mobile advertising company that uses interactive brand experiences through non-traditional media and street level promotions.
Eco Cabs are already a success in over 50 cities, comprising of New York, Paris, London and Dublin. In the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2006 World Cup Germany, they were named the official transport service.
Here’s to Toronto, CA. for taking a leap in “green travel”!
