Everything about Autoshare totally explained

AutoShare is a car sharing company in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The service was launched in October 1998 with 16 initial members and three cars. As of October 2006, AutoShare has 3,200+ members and 130+ cars available for use 24 hours per day. Members are billed for their use of cars based on time of use and miles driven. (Higher-use plans may also have monthly fees of $10 or $25.) In addition to using cargo minivans, Smart cars, Prius hybrids and alternative fuel vehicles, their commitment to sustainability extends to buying electricity from renewable-energy provider Bullfrog Power. The Toronto Parking Authority is a partner in helping locate cars near transit, in city parking lots. Car sharing has been recognized in the City of Toronto's official plan as a part of the transportation system, and is being promoted by Toronto's Clean Air Partnership.
   Based on member surveys, 15% of AutoShare members sold a car after joining and 25% decided not to purchase a car. About one in four members reports increase transit and bicycle use.
   AutoShare was founded by Kevin McLaughlin, who continues the automotive innovation and tradition of Sam McLaughlin and Earle McLaughlin.
