TransLink, car-share and bike-share companies to take part
TransLink is creating an intermodal transportation app that customers could use to manage trips on public transit as well as car-share and bike-share services.
The first shared-mobility pilot project involved a card while the second one is expected to have an app. TransLink spokeswoman Shruti Prakash confirmed to BIV that her agency is working to make a follow-up project a reality. A survey of the participants found that 60 per cent said that using their shared-mobility-project card meant that they did not need to use their cars.
Evo and Modo have likely benefited from the region's car-share options shrinking. Car2Go halted operations at the end of February 2020. Zipcar then pulled its cars from the Vancouver market at the end of April 2020. The Insurance Corp. of British Columbia said at the time that Zipcar had been insuring its vehicles as rental cars, and not car-share vehicles, so Zipcar could intermingle the cars with the company's Avis rental-vehicle business. Had Zipcar insured the vehicles as car-share vehicles, insurance would have costed less and the B.C. business may have been viable.
