Car Sharing, launched in 1987 in Switzerland and later in 1988 in Germany, came to North America via Quebec City in 1993. As of January 1, 2007 - based on data provided by Susan Shaheen, University of California, Berkeley - 18 U.S. carsharing programs claimed 134,094 members sharing 3,637 vehicles, and 13 Canadian carsharing programs claimed 21,817 members sharing 994 vehicles.

Car Sharing.

I think somthing's wrong on this statistic...

Link wants you to register - not interested in that.

I also can't say I'm interested in the idea of car sharing as I understand it. Mostly because I hate driving someone else's pile - which is exactly what you get when you slide into the seat of one of the shared vehicles. Not to mention, the odds are in favor of there rarely being a vehicle handy when you most need it.


And I think your [Bart] signature statement about shit sandwiches is flawed. The more bread you have, the more bread you have - the amount of shit doesn't actually change... you just learn to hide it behind more bread. At the end of the day, you've eaten the same amount of shit - having just spread it around and made more sandwiches.
