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.

The Amish in my area have cell phones. Gary

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.
