Your primary resource for Sustainable & Responsible Tourism in Ireland

InterContinental San Francisco created a tool that enables their guests to evaluate different transportation options based on time, CO2 produced, cost and a “green rating.” It’s called their Alternative Transportation micro site.
The tool shows the practicalities and costs associated with travelling to particular destinations by walking, biking, taxi, Go-Car (a 2-seat, electric, open car that’s available in San Francisco and San Diego), hybrid sedan, motorcycle and car.
The hotel says that the tool enables guests to, “choose the ‘greenest’ way to get around San Francisco and California, using a car only when it’s necessary.”
For example, if one wants to go to the Orpheum Theater, which is 0.8 miles from the hotel, the chart shows what it would mean for taking the following options:
The website also provides a map for each option, and highlights the route to the chosen destination.
InterContinental San Francisco enables guests to use their Zipcar Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid, and get fully reimbursed for the Zipcar membership fee.
