Minneapolis may test car-sharing program

Southwest Journal reports that the city's Public Works Department is planning a pilot program for car-sharing services, letting residents rent a car for a few hours or days at a time.

The yellow bike progam on steroids.

Hey, Mayor Archie...your city is broke! The country is broke! What part of "there is no more money" do you not understand?

[Amused Slew]

The cars are RENTED, didn't you read your own link ??

Rental cars are abused and don't last long.

Tell Avis, Budget, and my personal favorite HERTZ, renting cars is a bad idea...

Even TrashyLair knows THAT !

LMAOROTFU~!

Why does the government feel the need to compete with existing, privately owned businesses?
We already had bike rentals which were driven out of business after decades, by the 'yellow bikes.' And we have short-term car rentals which are also privately owned.
Fix the roads, idiots!

[Amused Slew]

Not competing, since car rental agencies aren't filling that gap, just like nobody is filling....

There is no competition here since the government can run this at a net loss, financed by the taxpayers. Just like light rail, no private business like Hertz, Enterprise, or even Rent a Wreck, can compete with that kind of nonsense.

Call it "nonsense", THAT'S an argument ???

It is now considered sharing when a Jigger steals your car.

Just like building stadiums for billionaire team owners at tax payer expense, we are now going to provide automobiles for those that either have them, or have access to them in the private markets.

This is wrong.

It's considered worth writing, when a coward spews racism ???

They understand. They just don't care since they believe that the supply is inexhaustible. If only they could figure a way to mandate every couple have 12 children.

Yes it is. And if you do a little research, you will find that most, if not all car sharing programs in the US are subsidized by both state and federal agencies and we all know where they get their (our) money from.
