Quote: The Zen of Car Share

From The Sun on the VanCity car-share report:

Younger car-share members are least likely to say they enjoy not owning a car.

“They are also the most likely to say they would sacrifice things such as chocolate and ice cream, an annual vacation and their sense of smell for 12 months in exchange for the free use of a private car for a year,” says Changing Gears.

The report also found that: Psychological benefits attributed  to car-sharing include freedom and peace of mind.

  1. “Younger car-share members are least likely to say they enjoy not owning a car.”
    That’s quite the sentence, triple negative = positively negative?

  2. Of course sharing makes more sense for occasional users in areas where there are 3000+ cars to share. What about areas, like Surrey or Abbotsford where that option doesn’t exist and/or getting around without a car is cumbersome?
    Same as renting or owning a house. Why own one if one can get the benefits of a house for less money. But can you ?
