ABSTRACT
Ahh, cars. This particular father wasn’t wrong back then and is at least partially right today: The American love affair with their vehicles is still an expensive one. According to the 2015 AAA Driving Costs study, the annual cost of operating a car in the US is about $8,698.1
Yet the point for many is to go from A to B (and back again), reliably. After the trip, or between legs of the trip, the car sits, sometimes expensively in an urban parking space. In fact, the average car sits unused for about 22 to 23 hours a day. Is there another way? A cheaper way? A more efficient way?
