When it comes to transport, Londoners are spoilt for choice. Buses, trains, taxis and the Tube take us to almost every corner of this amazing city, and there’s an ever-increasing drive for us to ditch cars in favour of sustainable transport.
Cyclists can now use London’s sprawling network of cycle lanes too. E-rental transport like e-bikes and e-scooters, though sometimes a nuisance in some areas of London, have shortened how long it takes to get from A to B.
And Londoners may soon be blessed with another form of transport: the Yo-Go electric buggy. These four-wheeled golf-cart look-a-likes are being piloted in Hammersmith and Fulham and are slated as an alternative to short car journeys, and aimed at those who don’t want to cycle.
The buggies are also an upgrade from e-bikes and e-scooters as they give you space to put some shopping bags, and a roof over your head. Adrian Zorzut, who covers Hammersmith and Fulham as part of the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS), took one for a spin to see if they live up to their billing.
