Late last year Austin, Texas lauched a pilot of the car2go program. The way the program works is, 200 smart fortwo vehicles were made available 24/7 within the city to a select group of city employees. As a member you can use the car as long as you like. When you are done, you can park it in any available public parking space within downtown Austin area or at specially marked car2go spaces. You can go online and book a vehicle in advance. The pilot showed that 90% of people use car2go spontaneously and for one-way trips. The trial was so successful that beginning in May, 2010, the number of cars will increase and all Austin residents and students can apply for a membership. I was curious to see exactly how it all worked, so I visited the car2go website. I clicked on the FAQ's link, and there most of my questions were answered.
