Yeah, definitely makes sense to have one company with lots of cars than a bunch with only a few cars. When I started a thread asking about Calgary Car Share, the consensus seemed to be Calgary didn't have enough hippies and/or urban density to make this work. I think it would, but it would take a critical mass number of cars to take off.
Also, Car2Go has a $35 sign up fee compared to a $500 deposit for the Calgary car share co-op, which should make it easier for them to get members. I'll probably sign up if it seems like they have a decent number of cars, even if it's just to run errands from work over lunch.
Does anyone know how many cars they're starting with in Calgary? The home area where you can drop them is pretty large, so if they all end up at the university or in Lakeview it won't be much use.
