Your car...
[LSR]Cypher:
Wow that's a great idea. How much faster is it compared to the bus or train/subway (if you have one)?
nero:
Depends a lot on the time. When it's work traffic a.k.a. rush hour, tram might be faster. Early in the morning or late in the evening, car is faster. But mainly I use it in certain situations, for example if you missed the last tram, or the tram can't drive because of a car blocking the tracks and you have a meeting etc.
It's just nice to have this "backup" besides public transportation, without the downsides of owning a car like maintenance, insurance, gas etc.

yeh, it's car2go, a car sharing company owned by Smart. They offer cars in a lot of big cities (not only in Germany), you can just enter a free one and drive within the city boundaries and pay by minutes. You enter with an electronic card, inside you find the key and unlock it again with a pin. Pretty simple and useful.
I pay around 5 Euros for a drive from work to home, which is about 20 minutes.

Thats a nice idea, but I dont think it could work here, people would find a way to take the security stuff away and steal the car
nero:
Don't think it is worth it.
The car can (and is constantly) tracked via mobile phone signal. You need a member card to unlock the car, this unlocking most likely gets logged. Then you need a valid pin to unlock the ignition on a touch screen, which gets logged too. There are a lot things inside the car build for this carsharing usage and there are probably a lot of security measures you still don't know about. Maybe they can lock the car remotely or switch it off. Or other stuff. They danger of being caught is too high of a risk for stealing a quite cheap car. At least in my country.
