City Working To Make Car-Sharing More Popular ("City planners describe car sharing as a sort of library service for cars. Drivers who pay an annual fee to join a car-share organization can reserve cars, by the hour or by the day, and pick them up at hundreds of spots around the city. The hourly rates include gas and insurance and, in some cases, mileage charges. We estimate our average member can save some $600 a month over the cost of owning a car in the city.")
