Entire Balboa Peninsula Now FREE to Ride

As of yesterday, pick up and delivery on the entirety of Balboa Peninsula is official for the Downtowner app.  The original territory was limited to the northern end of the peninsula, and while they would generally drop-off at other locations, there was not a pick-up option available, so you had to make your own way down.

Downtowner Territory

Yes, this expansion means that they are hiring!  Fill out the online submission form if you are interested: www.ridedowntowner.com

Downtowner makes its money off advertisements on its vehicles, and their drivers work for tips alone.

So grab the app for Apple devices (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/downtowner/id786617715?mt=8) or Android devices (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.downtownerapp.downtownerapp&hl=en) and get moving! (but please, tip your driver!)

And seeing as how today is my birthday, I can’t imagine a method of transportation more preferable than being chauffeured around in a golf cart on a beach… for free!  Maybe the next expansion will be to Balboa Island?  Fingers crossed!
