Zu Besuch bei den Vorkämpfern eines neuen politischen Bewusstseins 17-Aug-2009Regular Springwise readers may remember Vélib‘, the citywide bike-sharing scheme in Paris that we covered back in 2007. Buoyed by the success of that effort, the city is now apparently planning another ambitious initiative—this time involving electric cars. Paris actually already has a car-sharing scheme in place with some 5,000 members, but it’s privately run and uses [...] |
