David here 👋 Let me share my first experience with Jaunt, a free ride-share service in downtown Columbia — but tips are always welcome.
I was sitting in the front window of Indah Coffee when the six-door Jaunt vehicle drove by wrapped in an advertisement for Cutwater, a brand of alcoholic canned cocktails. It caught my attention, so when I was ready to leave, I decided to try it out. I texted the number (803) 929-8999 and within minutes, the Jaunt was there to pick me up.
The electric vehicle was comfortable and perfect for a quick zip down Main Street. It’s able to operate free of charge thanks to advertisements inside and outside the vehicle.
