Hesham: I think it would be quite appealing to a certain breed of traveler and is a great use of GPS technology. Franchisees who choose their cities well should do a decent business with this concept.

Riders: Thanks for the visit. It’s a cool-looking vehicle and certainly eliminates the parking hassle!

iWalk: I had some issues with my WordPress upgrade and actually have a new URL now. Not fun…

I don’t know that I’d like a roof on one of those cars -part of the appeal is the open air, I think. But, you have to accomodate the weather, I guess. I’m also more of a bike rider -like to get my exercise etc. ~But the cars do look fun!

So glad that I can visit here again!

Yeah, I saw some in Barcelona, The Gocar like your picture but with a roof. But I love bike more, so I rent a bike.

Fly Girl: They can go as fast as 35 mph, more than enough to keep up with city traffic, and require a valid driver’s license. In San Francisco, a driver must be 18 to rent the vehicle.

Delmer: So you basically found an even more “fluid option” than the audio headsets I mentioned? And yes, it seems none of the “rules” apply until you start having your own children!

Brian: I saw where they have franchise availability. ~Don’t know what other companies might be doing this, but the GoCar is only in four cities so far: two in the US and two in Europe. The GoCar seems like a viable business for temperate tourist destinations.

What a great idea offering those cars for tours. I bet that spreads around the World. Some innovative entrepreneur must be doing very well by now.

My buddy and I toured Alcatraz with a six-pack of beer. I realize this is my second comment about San Francisco involving beer but drinking on the street was such a novel idea we hated to not do it.

We bought the six pack as it was cheaper than buying beer one at a time. (Prior to making the trip to Alcatraz visitors were told to not take beer. However, nobody bothered to look in our bag. And we were just out of college … so not all the rules applied to us.)

You mean those are actual cars? i thought they were new go carts or something. They look like so much fun. Do you have to have a regular driver’s liscense to drive them?

The GoCar patrons seemed to be enjoying themselves and zipped around with ease. I would probably use the GoCar to get an overview of what I’d like to go back and explore on foot or by bike.
