omg this is so sad!! like zipcar was a lifesaver for tons of ppl especially new drivers like phineas it's crazy how the uk is lagging behind europe in sustainable transport and I think arthur kay is totally right btw, we need to rethink our priorities & invest in shared mobility solutions not just electric vehicles

just thinkin' about zipcar's demise is sad so many people relying on this service and now they're stuck i feel bad for phineas finn, that's a lot of unnecessary expense and it's weird how the gov's focus is on electric vehicles while car-sharing services like zipcar are being pushed out needs to rethink priorities, man

I'm not surprised about Zipcar's exit. People in the UK are too attached to their cars, even if they're just going to the shops or using them for a few hours a week. It's like they think owning a car is some kind of status symbol... newsflash: it's not. And yeah, the government's all about subsidizing electric vehicles, but where are the incentives for shared mobility? I mean, who needs to own a fancy EV when you can just use one for a day and then park it in your garage, taking up space? The UK's traffic congestion is a nightmare, and we need to rethink our priorities, not just focus on making electric cars more popular. Let's get behind shared mobility solutions that actually work!

just thinking about all those commuters stuck without zipcar is wild, like what were they supposed to do? and yeah, i'm so over the gov's favouritism towards evs - we need more funding for public transport & shared mobility initiatives, not just a bunch of subsidies for car manufacturers

omg i'm literally dreading what this means for my daily commute lol i rely on zipcar so much and now they're just gonna be gone i had no idea how reliant it was on them though, didn't realize there were that many new drivers like phineas finn who needed alternative solutions anyway, i think the gov is really out of touch with what we need here. all that cash for electric vehicles but not enough support for car-sharing initiatives? not cool

I'm so bummed about Zipcar's exit, mate. I mean, who needs all those unnecessary cars on the road? It's like they're just collecting dust and polluting our air quality. I remember when my mate was learning to drive, he needed a car too...but then he discovered Zipcar and it was a total game-changer for him. Now that it's gone, he's stuck with a spare vehicle in his garage . And don't even get me started on the emissions - we really need to focus on sustainable transport options like shared mobility services.

I'm not a fan of the government's priorities either...like, what's up with all that cash for electric vehicles? We know they're better for the environment, but at what cost? They should be investing more in car-sharing initiatives and public transport instead. It's time to rethink our priorities and make our country people-friendly again . We can do better than this!
