[h=1]Man launches 'Amish Uber,' a horse-and-buggy ride-hailing service [/h]
By The Associated Press
COLON, Mich. — Look out Lyft, move over Uber: A southern Michigan man has launched a horse-and-buggy ride-hailing service.
WWMT-TV reported Timothy Hochstedler dubs his service "Amish Uber," though he's not a driver for the company. A sign on the side of his buggy reads, "Amish Horse & Buggy Rides $5," and he offers trips around the St. Joseph County community of Colon.
Hochstedler said he enjoys the conversations with customers. And his horse is friendly — "a people's horse."
Still, there's no app to hail this horse-and-buggy: Would-be customers have to flag it down.
