Car club set to expand in Shepherd's Bush

Posted by Dan Hodges on Oct 8, 09 04:26 PM in Clubs/societies

A car sharing club in Shepherd's Bush now has 3,000 members using 45 vehicles in 35 locations around the borough, with another 10 locations to follow before the end of the year.

Streetcar claims local demand for VW Golfs, Polos and Transporter vans - which are hired on a pay-as-you-go basis from bays on the street and in car parks - has rocketed by more than a third in Hammersmith and Fulham over the last 12 months.

Co-founder Brett Akker said: "There are few boroughs where the potential benefits of joining a car club can be so high. As the cost of car ownership increases and parking congestion in the borough worsens we are finding more and more people giving up their private cars in favour of our service."
