Car Sharing

yes yes, you pay a hourly rate of $7.50 to $12 to drive a car, supposedly government loves it because its supposed to cut down on traffic.

How does it work, there are cars located at specific spots in the city, if they are not in use you can drive, supposedly the attracters say it cuts down on traffic and is cheaper to drive then a car which they say cost ($708) a month to drive? huh?

okay this is just the lamest idea ever, I guess they do it in europe so somehow its supposed to work in the commuter hell of america.

First off convenience factor, there is none, this system only works for urbanites who sit in their lame apartments all day long and never get out. Second you can get a decent car with 30+ mpg with liabilty insurance and its only gonna cost you maybe $150 a month to drive. Third if your that desperate about gas and maintenance all that other crap, then get something better then a stupid rent a car, get a motorcycle.

Finished with my rant this is the most Stupid Idea Eva!!!!

custoe, honestly, read the entire article you're getting this (mis)information out of. it answers your questions.

Also, your $$ is way off the actual prices they charge.

Furthermore, you're still missing the GDP (god damn point) this ISN'T for people who need to commute everyday and need to run 10,000 errands. its NOT for everybody, and thats the genius of it.

You're trying to apply this to situations where it's not meant to- or marketed- to go towards. RTFA

PS: You RESERVE the cars for a specific length of time. While reserved, the cars open for YOU, and YOU only.
