Streetcar
Posted on 31 Jan 2005 in Daily, London
We signed up for Streetcar on the weekend. This member service lets you book and use Streetcar cars conveniently parked all over London. There’s at least one parked down the road from our flat. After reserving a car on the web site you go to the car and swipe your card on the card reader under the windscreen to unlock it. You then enter your code in the cars computer, get the keys out of the glove box and you’re off. It’s GBP4.95 per hour for rental. Great for short trips zipping around London and only GBP25 to join plus GBP50 optional insurance excess reduction. The cars are all nice new VW Golf’s.

One of those has just started up in Melbourne. Based in the inner-northern suburb of Northcote, where I reside. Intersting concept, much like bicycles in Copenhagen. Great idea.
