Beaming aboard<\/p>\n
Sunnyvale Beam, the city\u2019s new on-demand rideshare service, is officially launching Sept. 1, 9-10 a.m., at the Sunnyvale City Hall North Plaza. Attendees can check out the new vehicles, hear remarks from city officials and enjoy special giveaways.<\/p>\n
The service is designed to complement existing transit services and improve first- and last-mile connections to public transit and other key destinations.<\/p>\n
Beam will operate daily with nine electric vehicles; three of them will be wheelchair accessible. The service area is anywhere within the Sunnyvale city limits and includes two locations outside the city: Homestead High School and Kaiser Permanente\u2019s Santa Clara Medical Center.<\/p>\n
Catch a ride using a mobile app or by calling 408-547-9943. The first three rides are free; after that rides will be $3.50 and $1 for each additional passenger. Beam costs $1.75 for seniors, students and low-income or disabled riders.
