Meet Chariot. If you’ve been anywhere near the LES/East Village or Midtown during commuting hours, it’s likely that you have already seen the teal chariots bringing residents to and from work.
What is Chariot? Chariot is an app-based, micro-transit commuter service that focuses on making your twice-a-day commute more comfortable, affordable, and reliable. Rides are $4 each, or you can get an unlimited monthly pass for $119. Chariot also accepts commuter benefits, which can save you up to 40% off the monthly price.
Chariot’s “East Side Express” route hits the LES and East Village before heading up to Midtown, and then runs the reverse in the evening. You can see all the pick-up and drop off spots here. To ride the East Side Express, download the Chariot app and sign up for an account!
Enter code “LODOWN” under ‘Payments’ to ride free for your first week.
