Car sharing

Car sharing is a system under which either through cooperative ownership or through some other mechanism multiple households share a pool of automobiles and sometimes other vehicles. Typically, the participants in such a program are city dwellers most of whose transportation needs are met by public transit, walking, or bicycling. Some households use a car share as an alternative to the hassles of owning (or parking) a second car.
