today i bring my thoughts around to car sharing and its implementation in the lower mainland
my family owns two vehicles due mainly to the fact that my wife and i owned separate vehicles when we met along with the fact that sometimes we both have need of a vehicle
however, one of them is not used much of the time and i would be willing to allow else the use of that vehicle if i could be compensated
the idea would be to have a central registry of vehicles and locations for individuals to use but the implementation of such an organization is beyond my ken - computer logging, fees, GPS tracking of vehicles, liability, insurance
the idea would be like FlexCar or Car Co-op (a.k.a. CAN) but without the capital cost of maintaining a fleet of cars - it would be a pool of cars that individual owners would allow the use of by others
i guess i can talk to the CAN about options for the lower mainland, or at least the logistics of vehicle tracking and insurance issues
