Car2GO to launch in Calgary

[McMurph]

The problem in my mind is the extensive use Cars2Go for commuting downtown. There is a huge shift from the periphery to the centre and back each day which creates a diurnal maldistribution that undercuts the convenience of true car sharing and creates in the very least a perception of them undermining transit and downtown parking strategies. Car2Go is a great service and is useful for both its users and the city as a whole, but as a partner in Calgary's transportation system they're going to have to do a better job of evenly distributing their cars. I don't know how it should work -- it'll be tough with our hugely centralized work world -- but I hope they figure it out themselves before something stupid gets regulated for them.
