FRAN's fleet of 10 vehicles connects popular destinations in Anaheim's Center City area.
The shared vehicles arrive on demand via FRAN's smartphone app.
FRAN is distinct from other microtransit systems in the U.S. because it is a free electric-vehicle service accessed through app technology and operated by a public transportation agency, not by a private company.

Another bonus is that the cars are built in Anaheim.
