Okay, imagine Uber, but without the baggage, hubris, and warmth.1 That’s how I’d describe Circuit, a point-to-point private rideshare service slowly making its way to your city. At least that’s how its co-founder and CEO, Alexander Esposito thinks about the future of the company he’s helped grow since 2011. Deliberate, complementary, on-demand, electric, warm, transportation. He sees Circuit as part of a larger solution to the problem: how do I get from here to there?
Our roads are so much more than car movers. Our streets are more than the sum of their rights-of-way. Alex and I spoke a few months ago about how Circuit’s working toward de-manifesting and imaginatively thinking up a new destiny for a car-optional future. Our interview is below and has been edited for clarity and length.
