Car2go only exists in 26 cities, with Vancouver and Berlin having the largest fleets. In the other 24 cities, mostly western European, they are still quite young. Do you think thousands of tourists who happen to be from those 25 cities come to Vancouver as tourists?? We get the biggest numbers of visitors coming from the US and the most growth in tourism from Asia. Do you see them as Car2go members?
Uber can be used by everyone in the entire planet. Period. If visitors have to wait forever for taxis to bring them around, not to mention that it costs quite a bit more, word gets around that this is not an easy city to travel to various destinations. And please don't suggest them to take buses everywhere, as ours isn't really to par when compared to world class cities.
Like someone else said, it's not one thing that poops the party in Vancouver, but a combination of different things.
Time to wake up to reality.
