Why is there no FLEX zone close to where I live?
There are multiple factors that determine whether the FLEX service can operate in a specific Communauto city, and which parts of the city can be included in the FLEX zone:
- Municipalities usually need to approve the operation of on-street carsharing.
- The zone must include streets or other parking options where FLEX cars are permitted to park at the end of a trip.
- Some neighbourhoods cannot be included because of potential conflicts with other on-street parking needs, or because parking rules are not suitable year-round.
- It is also important that the zone covers an area where members will frequently start and end trips, so the cars circulate regularly.
These are just a few of the things taken into consideration when planning the coverage of our FLEX zones. Rest assured that our team is committed to continuing to develop our network.
