Yep, I'm now a member of Philly Car Share and I have the electronic key to prove it. I didn't go straight out and drive a car for fun, and we still have to sell my sweetie's car sitting in a parking space waiting to be sold. So I don't expect to actually use a car-share car for a while. I rarely need/want to drive anywhere.
Does anybody else use car-sharing. One of the things that really surprised me is how quickly PhillyCarShare is expanding. I could be wrong but it seems like during the 6 months that I've been procrastinating about signing up, they've doubled the number of locations where they keep cars. I live three minutes' walk from two locations with 6 cars or so.
PhillyCarShare claims to have taken 2,100 cars off Philly's streets. Pretty impressive, even though my guess is that some of the displacement of private autos that they're claiming, is actually displacement of informal car sharing, carpooling, public transit, and rental car use.
