Pedicabs in Newport, Rhode Island are eco-friendly and a popular means of transportation in this tourist destination for locals and tourists, young and old, alike. Visitors from all over the world travel to Newport, whether it's to unwind, explore or play. Newport has its historic mansions, unique restaurants and an active nightlife, all of which can be accessed using the pedicabs. Most pedicabs can be found awaiting passengers at Newport's downtown Bannister Wharf, or about town as they drop off passengers, and they operate until 2:00 a.m., often peddling cruise ship passengers about town. Pedicab operators take up to four passengers about town in seven-hour shifts. A benefit of taking pedicabs is the knowledge of the pedicab operators of the town, often making the trip itself a highlight of a Newport visit.
