  1. Tony talks book and car sharing to a very pleased sharer in Vancouver. Just another way to help us reduce our demand on resources. We need more of this in Canada. Vote Tony McQuail for the NDP Leadership if you want a more sharing economy, designed for people. #ndp2026 #ndp #carshare #library

  2. You know you’re a car-share driver with a company that has reasonable sized fleet of vehicles when you find yourself googling “proace Toyota reverse gear”

    Who put it there? Honestly, who??

    Good thing I did not have to backnout anywhere in Brussels 😅

  3. I'm really pissed off at Communauto/Vrtucar. Until a month or so ago, there was a car on Elm Street at the black X, and now there isn't. Preston/Somerset is now a #carshare desert (red circle).

    This is right as my spouse just joined #Communauto and is about to scrap the old clunker and go #carfree.

    I asked them about the Elm st car being missing and all they gave was a very generic "we welcome member suggestions for car locations" message. Pfft.

  4. Another day I realize how good is having #EvoCarShare / #ModoCarShare available all around me in #Vancouver, it’s so much more convenient and often cheaper than regular car rentals. Not owning a car was already financially advantageous before but now it’s a no-brainer to go #PublicTransit / #Cycling first and #CarShare as backup.

    People talk a lot about about DINKs, we should talk more about DINCs!

  5. In #Barcelona, the braking power of trains is being used to transform metro stations into power plants.

    Regenerative braking is being used to fuel lights, escalators, and electric #carshare stations attached to stations.

  6. I need to go somewhere by car. I open my #carshare app and within minutes I have one. Within 1000m from my house. I go do my errands, and drop it off where I got it. Right next to the parking spot is a #bikeshare station. I hop on a bike using my card that costs me only 50 euros a year. I drive it to the station 100m from my house over safe and wide paths.

    #antwerp has its fair share of problems, but man it can be amazing

  7. TIL
    #CommunAuto requires you to *reset your password* once your application is accepted, in order to actually login to your account.

    Except... they don't tell you this anywhere in the activation email, NOR in the login prompt; it solely says that your account is not fully activated, and to "please wait"... :picardfacepalm: 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♀️ :blobfoxfacepalm:

    Sigh......

  8. Yes, I know. This is how I retired early. I used transit + a car-sharing service instead of owning my own car for 15+yrs. It saved me >$250k. Combined with my other regular savings, I had enough to stop working in my early 40s. But go ahead and tell me how cool your new car is….

  9. Gig #CarShare rates in Seattle are getting a big increase in a couple of weeks. Hourly rates going up 20%, the 8-hour rate cap is now only valid if prepaid, and included mileage drops from 250 to 100 miles per trip. Disappointing, and in Seattle, there aren’t a lot of alternatives.

  10. I'm going to be in LA for a week this summer, and need a car to get us around to various places. Are there good #coop and/or #carshare options for getting a car or minivan for a few days at a time?

  11. I think this is new - #CarShare has reached my neighbourhood. #Bentleigh
