LADOT Lays the Groundwork for Functional Car Share with Hertz. Goodbye ZipCar?
For as long as I've covered car-sharing in Los Angeles, it's been something of a disaster. Our first story, published on Street Heat in 2007, was about how ZipCar's buyout of Flex Car would lead to a dramatic reduction of car-share. Nearly six years later, Los Angeles, a city with over 4 million people, has a pathetic 40 cars in its ZipCar fleet, with less than a dozen in its nearest competitor, LAX Car Share.
