Looking back at 2011, one the biggest areas of change has been sharing cars (sharing the ownership of cars rather than the equally important lift sharing).

This video about car sharing was the winner of the Liftshare member video competition - enjoy! See yours2share for more information about car sharing, car shared ownership and lift sharing. Here is another great article from shareable.net (would you share a car with a stranger?) outlines some of the ground breaking car sharing schemes being tried out in the US (astonishing really, as prising the average American out of his SUV isn’t something most of us would attempt, let alone ask him to let someone [...] I found another interesting car club last week called Wombat car club.

Streetcar have many [...] I’ve found a rather unusual car club called Commonwheels. It has cars in several locations: Reading, High Wycombe, Poole, Portsmouth and (soon) Oxford. When I first found the website, I was surprised as these aren’t the large cities that are the normal locations for car clubs.

But I’m keen to ensure people [...] Martin Gray of Pure Latitude phoned me yesterday to ask about advertising with yours2share. We’d met some time ago at an exhibition and he receives yours2share’s newsletter. What I hadn’t realised is that Pure Latitude is rather like a car club or destination club, but for boats. They have a range [...] |
