Petaluma Top Ten

3. Petaluma Green Taxi
Offering hybrid and low-emission vehicles, the Petaluma Green Taxi Company is one of the first services of its kind in the North Bay. Founded by eco-entrepreneur Dion Reif last January, the company drives three new Scion XBs and a Ford Escape hybrid, which are not only fuel-efficient but extremely comfortable. In fact, creature comfort was as much on Reif’s mind as the environment; the interiors of the Scions are plush, and the bright green exterior paint is a stylish departure from the traditional second-hand cop cars used by other Bay Area taxi services. “Now people have a choice, and it won’t cost them a dime more than a regular cab,” Reif says. Pickups must be made in Petaluma but drivers will take customers anywhere. Senior discounts are available. To book a ride, call 707.769.TAXI.
