Videos: not-for-profit City Car Share has 15,000 drivers
The video above is a France 24 news report about City Car Share, a not-for-profit car sharing program based in San Francisco. The video report says City Car Share has 15,000 members that pay rates of $4 an hour and 44 cents a mile. A mother of two was interviewed in the report and she says that the most she ever spent in a month, which happened when her family moved, she only spent $80. Below the jump is a video ad, by San Francisco State University, showing the benefits of City Car Share. The benefits include no insurance cost, no fuel cost, free parking and no maintenance. Are you sharing a car?
