I thought it noteworthy that carsharing is set to launch in Hamilton in the next month or so; and has just launched in Guelph.
Its growing it K-W and Cambridge, in fact its that provider that is launching the Hamilton Service.

Here in Toronto both carsharing services are expanding their fleets, Zipcar has grown by at least 25 cars this year; not sure how many Autoshare has added.

So that observation made; the question; will this growth continue?
If so, when will carsharing succeed in Mississauga? Will it be part of Markham Centre? And what of the inner-burbs?
Surely if K-W can make carsharing work, so can Scarborough or Mississauga.
Notes:
Autoshare tried out Port Credit a while back but left due to lack of interest.
Zipcar tried out UTM and left.
So far the most far flung points of operation are for the Toronto-based services are:
Zipcar: York U, Thorncliffe (new) and the Etobicoke Motel Strip redevelopment
Autoshare: Parkway Forest on Sheppard Ave @ 404 and the Airport Port area (new)
