Also from Vancouver. I thought the service was quite successful here and didn’t see this coming.

  I'm sure it was successful in Vancouver. It's elsewhere where it was losing money.

    In Toronto they got in a spat with the city over street parking and pulled out about a year ago. Really unfortunate as it was a great service, and seemed successful in terms of adoption. There's a new one in its place called Commune Auto, but lacks the visibility, as those little Car2Go smart cars with their branding really stood out.

      While that hurt car2go, I think Uber/Lyft would have ultimately killed them in Toronto anyway.

        At least in Calgary, Uber was 2-3x the price of Car2Go. You could get halfway across town in 15 minutes, and pay ~$7 for the trip if you got one of the smart cars. It was great. Last time I checked Uber, it was $18 for the same trip.

  I thought so too. But remember, Vancouver is one of the only major cities (that I'm aware of) which didn't allow Uber/Lyft. Until now.
