City hails plans for car-sharing

A CONFERENCE and exhibition is being held in Cork today to explore the possibility of a car-sharing scheme or a “car club” being started in the city.

Last week, city councillors approved a feasibility study that concluded that, despite the city’s low density population, a car-sharing scheme could work.

Under the scheme, club members would have ready access to cars without having the expense of buying, insuring and taxing a vehicle.
