Green taxi services of San Francisco
A few taxi services are making an effort to practice sustainable business methods by using hybrid cars or vehicles that run on natural gas.
The greenest taxi service provider in San Francisco as of now is the Green Cab. It was founded by eight cabbies in 2007 with just one Toyota Prius.
Their fleet continues to grow today at a healthy rate with the owners adding more hybrid cars that give about 40 miles/ gallon.
When calling in to Green Cab for a taxi, customers ask for a clean cab referring to either a hybrid or a CNG cab. It's only when all the clean cabs are in use, that the regular cabs are deployed.
