CarShare revs up
Continuing my run as The Buffalo News Financial Desk's Crunchy News* Reporter (You know, crunchy granola, hippie, eco-friendly, hazards-of-industrial-food, be-kind-to-animals stuff.):
- CarShare expands; demand revs up
CarShare has hit the ground running in Buffalo.
Less than six months after its rollout, the nonprofit car-sharing service has signed 130 paying members and expanded its fleet of blue, high-efficiency Toyotas from four to seven.
With the word spreading, and financial self-sufficiency on the horizon, the University at Buffalo urban planning students and graduates who founded the car-sharing service are setting their sights beyond the urban environmentalists out to save the world — and a few bucks.
