If your next flight takes you through San Francisco, Oakland, or San Jose airports, you can avoid adding to your jumbo jet's copious emissions by waving away the limo and taking PlanetTran instead. America's first all-hybrid executive car service, just launched in the San Francisco Bay area with a fleet of leather-seated Priuses, started out in Boston in 2003. Two years later, two others followed suit: OZOcar executive car service in New York and Ecolimo in Los Angeles. Hybrids are making inroads at established car service companies as well. For instance, some Yellow cabbies in San Francisco now drive Ford Escape hybrids, and San Francisco Limo has added Priuses and Camry hybrids to its airport fleet.
