Tuk Tuk Pedicab is Durango’s newest and most fun form of transportation
Tuk Tuk Pedicab is a bicycle drawn taxi service that will provide safe, environmentally friendly, and most importantly, fun taxi service to locals and tourists in Durango's Central Business District.
The cabs themselves are driven by a 21-speed mountain bike, which are pedaled by independent contractors, and include turn signals, stoplights, and running lights. Up to three passengers can be carried and each individual driver determines the rates of service.
Tuk Tuk Pedicab is owned and operated by Frank Maple and Marc Snider but the drivers of the pedicab will be independent riders that set their own hours and rates. Marc Snider says: “We think this is a great opportunity to not only provide a fun and valuable service to downtown, but also for local guys and girls to get paid to ride a bicycle.”
Tuk Tuk Pedicab will not have a “staging” area, but rather operate as a true taxi service and be continually trolling for passengers. The service will also be available through cellular telephone that the driver will carry. The service will be a fun alternative to driving for hotel guest to reach downtown, for bars and restaurants to help their guest in reaching their next destination and for to go order delivery service. Tuk Tuk Pedicabs are also available to rent for special events such as weddings.
Frank Maple says: “I believe this is another great addition to downtown Durango that will help define Durango from other Mountain towns-and therefore reinforce it as a must experience town.”
