An emerging low-cost alternative to car ownership, car sharing is available in 600 cities world wide including Moonee Ponds. Generally, the cars are owned by a company who leases them out to a user for a minimum of 1 hour or for a whole day.  

Every car share space takes about 7-10 cars off the road, reducing transport greenhouse gas emissions. For people who drive less than 15,000kms per year, research indicates that car sharing will save money as opposed to owning a vehicle. And, car sharing encourages more sustainable travel patterns for users who already rely on public transport, cycling and walking.
