Eco and Fun: VELOTAXI Sapporo

This place is written as [ベロタクシー 札幌] in Japanese.

Velotaxi, developed in Berlin, Germany in 1997, revolutionized short-distance transportation as a bicycle taxi. Beyond simply supplementing public transportation, Velotaxi serves multiple roles in addressing environmental concerns, issues related to aging populations, regional revitalization, and employment opportunities. This innovative concept has gained popularity worldwide through collaboration among transport providers, advertising partners, drivers, local communities, and administrations.

Velotaxi is particularly popular at events and parades, offering a unique way to experience Sapporo downtown at a leisurely speed of 10 km/h.
