You asked
Actually researcher at the LVMT (Laboratory of mobilty, transport and urban studies) in the ENPC (Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées), we are interested by carsharing programs in diferent cities. I would like to know more about Car sharing (car clubs) services data, areas for oneway services and stations for two way services (polygons and points). Can I have a shapefile. or xls. format information about positions of all car services in the greater london? Those inputs would be useful to compare other territories worldwide. In the web site "Trasportation for london" there is a map whit all carsharing positions of those services. Available data is to make analysis and create knowledge on those trends that appeared to be good practices in Eco-mobility concepts.(Shared mobility).
