Not only did I vote Green in the lower house for the first time on 21 August, I also became carless on 6 August. I plan to join one of the car share schemes that operate in the CBD of Melbourne. I started my new job in March 2009. It’s within easy walking, cycling and public transport distance from home. I’ve found that I only use my car occasionally on weekends. Even then some of my car use has been for reasons of laziness eg driving 1.2km to the Queen Victoria Market!
The great thing about car sharing is that you can hire a car for as short as one hour or whole days. The cars are spread around the city so the theory is that you will walk to the car, use it, return it to it parking location then walk home. It will be interesting to see how I go, one thing is for sure I will be walking to the QVM pushing my jeep from now on!
