Is this car sharing as in I can drive it today he can drive it tomorow, or
ride sharing - we can all go in 1 car to work?
I'm keen on car sharing so that I can travel Nationally by public transport,
and then use a locally based shared car for a couple of hours when I need one.
Edinburgh and Leeds are planning such schemes, but we are way behind the Swiss
and German networks.
Ride sharing has been given the key in the recent budget to make it work -
along with cycling and PT use - the tax exempt ride home in an emergency up to
60 times a year, by taxi, when your ride share car, or bus has left for the
night, or the weather really puts you off cycling home. IIRC US figures show
a very low rate of capitation fee is needed to provide this sort of cover with
contract rate taxis.
