However, you may be at the driver's mercy as they are often reluctant to go where you want to go.<br /><br />Radio taxis are becoming available, however, not that easily or quickly. I nearly missed a train in spite of booking a cab a day before. I had to call and chase half a dozen times various drivers of the cab company at dawn to get a cab I had booked!<br /><br />The more serious issue is the mess in residential areas, with people owning multiple cars for the reasons above and parking is becoming a very serious constraint, and a source of conflict between neighbours. So, the motivation for zip cars in India would be very different from that in the west, but the need is even greater.seth.anil@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691472392159378214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435266617173487253.post-34735704941580605052013-02-13T11:09:54.047+05:302013-02-13T11:09:54.047+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.seth.anil@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691472392159378214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435266617173487253.post-80778435563428802172013-02-13T06:40:14.042+05:302013-02-13T06:40:14.042+05:30Arent cabs so cheap and readily available in India...Arent cabs so cheap and readily available in India [specially in big cities where the Zipcar concept could apply] that anybody would want to call the cab rather than pick up a car and drive in the traffice. Plus there is the insurance factor for cars like zipcars. Somebody has to cover the insurance cost, which will bring the cost of the concept pretty close to a cheap cab.. my thoughts.. but yes, I agree the idea has its potential.. your blog was the first link when I googled for "Zipcar in India".. way to go...<br />[disclaimer] : I dont live in India and dont have the exact idea on how easy or cheap cab service is.
