\"MCG \"Thursday\" Only The Good Ideas Will Survive As Time Tests All Things<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If The Old is seen as Bad, Just Know That when the New Becomes Old, It May Also Be Bad or even Worse<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The Music City Ghost [File #43] 2015: <\/strong>There is a new service in the downtown Nashville area that has the taxi cab companies yelling at the top of their lungs to get it stopped. \u00a0It is called Joy Ride and it is a fleet of golf carts offering a\u00a0transportation\u00a0option for pedestrians in a unique way. \u00a0These small golf carts are everywhere you look downtown and very seldom do you see any of them empty. \u00a0The drivers appear to talk to everyone they see walking around and the taxi cab companies are losing thousands of dollars every day as a result of this newest invasion to their once dominated\u00a0territory. \u00a0When the temperature is in the high 90’s with a heat index in the triple digits, a ride to your next attraction without having to wave down a taxi is a great option. \u00a0This will probably be a seasonal icon in Nashville. \u00a0I don’t think the open aired small vehicles will appeal to visitors and locals alike when it is snowing. \u00a0I have never driven a golf cart on icy road conditions but I can only suspect they will not do very well. \u00a0In the mean time as the city grows so does the way\u00a0entrepreneurs\u00a0get creative if they wish to snatch those dollars. \u00a0Some of you may even remember when Opryland USA was open there were water taxis that would transport you from downtown to Opryland theme park by way of the Cumberland River or vice versa from Opryland back to downtown. \u00a0No more Opryland and thus no more water taxi service needed. \u00a0I can’t wait to see the new batch of postcards that will be printed showing\u00a0scenes of downtown Nashville filled with golf carts on the streets. \u00a0There are retirement resorts all over Florida where golf carts are the only allowed ground transportation vehicles. \u00a0Do you think a day will come when Lower Broadway will only allow pedestrian walking and golf carts?<\/p>\n
