It’s electric — boogie-woogie-woogie. We’re talking about Bellevue’s free rideshare service that takes passengers on quick trips in electric vehicles.
BellHop is a new pilot program between Visit Bellevue and on-demand transportation Circuit that will run through the end of the year. It hopes to take care of short-distance city rides in a cost-free, environmentally friendly way.
To try it out, download the Ride Circuit app and call up a driver like you would an Uber or Lyft. The BellHop cars motor around a four-mile area including the Spring District, Botanical Gardens, and Meydenbauer Bay Park.
The app aims to get you a car within eight minutes, but drivers may pick up other passengers on the way (keep that in mind, if you’re in a hurry). It runs Sunday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-9 p.m., and Friday + Saturday, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. See how a test ride went .
