By The Associated Press


COLON, Mich. — Look out Lyft, move over Uber: A southern Michigan man has launched a horse-and-buggy ride-hailing service.
WWMT-TV reported Timothy Hochstedler dubs his service "Amish Uber," though he's not a driver for the company. A sign on the side of his buggy reads, "Amish Horse & Buggy Rides $5," and he offers trips around the St. Joseph County community of Colon.


Hochstedler said he enjoys the conversations with customers. And his horse is friendly — "a people's horse."


Still, there's no app to hail this horse-and-buggy: Would-be customers have to flag it down.

Amish have cell phones and they consider it OK to use solar chargers for them. At least those in southern MI do and I am sure other Amish do too.

Why did the words 'horse whisperer' leap into my head. I wonder if the Amish would go for solar-powered electric buggies one day.
