As part of a new promotional campaign, ride-hailing giant Lyft Inc. is offering free horse-drawn covered wagon rides this week in downtown Portland to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the Oregon Trail.
The fifteen-minute rides start in front of the Oregon Historical Society and pass by several landmarks and historic buildings. Tour guides will accompany riders, who will receive a $10 ride credit and commemorative memento at the end of the trip.
