The third film in the Moving Beyond the Automobile series by Streetfilms is all about car sharing. Car sharing is a very simple and very brilliant concept: short term car rentals for local use where you pay to use a car by the hour or by the day. Although this isn’t “beyond the automobile” per say, it is still a great way to reduce car use and the need to own cars for many people. I would say car sharing is a step in the right direction to reduce our automobile dependency, because let’s admit it, sometimes you just need to use a car, so here is a great option for those times when you do.
