Columbus is getting super thrifty with another free ride option

Golf carts are no longer just for senior citizen golfers. Now, they’re your free mode of transportation around the downtown area. It’s called FreeRide and no, it’s not a joke.

These golf carts are fully street-legal, open-air vehicles that fit up to six people. Drivers will take you short distances (3-5 minutes) at no cost, though tips are encouraged. Five dollars is a small price to pay for preserving your pride that would be toast if you tried to parallel park downtown on your lunch break.

FreeRide operates seven days a week with hours spanning the entire day. If you’d like a cruise in a golf cart, just hail one like you would a taxi.

Another option for free rides is Hopper.
