The addition of this rideshare service is part of the city’s efforts “to develop itself as a livable, walkable area," Bradenton Vice-Mayor Marianne Barnebey said, according to ABC Action News.

The service, which utilizes electric Tesla vehicles, offers riders a sustainable and eco-friendly way to get around, according to the company’s website.
