The Coop HoHo Part II

Making Cupertino a more fun place to live and work.

Is there a way to make the Coop Hop on Hop off (HoHo) a reality? Maybe; what if we used a Private-public partnership?  Defined: Click Here

I was thinking it might be fun to have kiosks (solar powered) at some of the stops like they have in SF. You know, one or two self cleaning restrooms, a magazine stand or a healthy food vendor for a quick snack.

The concept would be designed to thread together Cupertino business, public areas and other points of interest that now require multiple uses of our cars from parking lot to parking lot.  Students would have access to business and public areas that now require a parent to drive them to a particular location.

This would also create sustainable jobs for drivers, security, administration, maintenance, janitorial and support vendors.  Revenues would come from a rider fare, advertising, grants, and donations.

Just an idea at this stage; but, from little ideas sometimes sprout realities.  We need a champion to undertake the mission of building on this concept.  The Chamber of Commerce maybe?
