Auto-mobile will start with a fleet of twenty-three electric cars shared throughout the plateau in a project that will run until the end of October.
Montreal's car sharing service — Communauto — is looking to expand by launching a pilot project in the Plateau Mont Royal borough that will allow people to rent electric cars without any reservations.
The project, called Auto-mobile, will start with a fleet of 23 cars available throughout the Plateau in a project that will run until the end of October.
Communauto President Benoit Robert says the idea is to offer a more flexible car sharing service for short-term rentals.
“It's very spontaneous; it's like the Bixi. You don't have to plan in advance so it means that if you do something and suddenly you need a car and you see a car beside you, you can just check that car is available and then yes, you can leave with it,” said Robert.
