While we're talking about car sharing, I'm a huge fan of the car2go model. Basically, it's Zipcar except you can park in any public parking space instead of having to return it to the spot where you picked it up. It looks like they're trying to make most of their money from corporate contracts, such as the City of Austin, which is the only customer during the pilot phase. They're probably also writing some of it off as advertising. It's run by Daimler and all the cars are Smart Fortwos, which I see pretty much every day now. It's not open to the public yet in Austin, but between that, the bus and a folding bike to make half car2go, half bike trips more feasible, I wouldn't need my rarely used car at all. http://www.car2go.com/portal/austin/page/mybookings/mapEnlarged.faces http://www.car2go.com/portal/austin/page/mybookings/mapEnlar...
