Its like having a bunch of cars spread out through the city to be used by anyone who wants to. Public transportation becomes more of an option when you know you can use a Zipcar for things like grocery shopping or whatever - you dont have to own a car to get by. |
Ahh ok that is pretty sick! Good idea, but how successful is it? |

| Oh wow, I misread that as Flexcar, good thing it's technically the same thing. |

And I noticed it said they take care of insurance and all that which is just like any car rental agency in the states if you opt for it. I find that it is more expensive than Enterprise though for day usage. Although $8/hr isn't bad at all if you just need it for an hour or two. |

Very true, but my point is that with MARTA, it's difficult to get to places. It doesn't cover any ground except a giant +, so if you want to get in a corner, you're going to be walking 3 times as long as you took the train.
NYC trains go everywhere, just as the Parisian one posted, and The Tube in London (which is phreaking sick *fistpump*) |

It's most likely designed that way because the rich folk don't want the poor people easy access to their neighborhoods. |

| That's quite a possibility. A lot of times I don't go clubbing alone because I don't want to deal with the (literally) 10+ homeless people on the way to the station and beside it. |

It is.... they put a vote up to see if they would build the extension of the train up to kennesaw (20 miles north) and the people voted no in fear of the poor. |
