The smart as potentially nationwide one-way solution has hit the media in several waves. Although Car2go himself as car sharing, it seems the taxi industry Car2go see much more clearly than competitors. This is expressed not only in the Handelsblatt article "Daimler makes taxi drivers competition" from , but also in the reactions in the taxi industry. On site, organized the resistance, after all taxi companies previously loyal customers from Mercedes. At the same time, there are also more cautious tones, such as at taxi today.
The car-sharing industry reacted cautiously, but in principle open. The Federal Association Welcomes the first trial and speaks above all the outstanding issues. The car-sharing providers look especially curious to Ulm. If Car2go should be successful, is expected to reach a next stage of car-sharing service quality. In this new market, the current range but also find its place.
from the public transport sector, there were probably not have a reaction. But a car for 19 cents per minute can also mean competition for bus and train. The public transport pass is now almost always (significantly) cheaper than Car2go. However, single and day tickets are sometimes (especially off-peak times) more expensive than Car2go. Car2go as a weak alternative to busy bus lines?
are certainly far all the mind games. Whether Car2go works and can run below cost or even profitable, to be seen in Ulm in 2009 yet.
