I bet you a ride sharing company where you can just get into a car and drive around with it would make big money.

I used ZipCar when I lived in Chicago and Seattle. Great service. Didn't need to own car in either city because of ZipCar.

ZipCar requires you to return the car to its original spot. With these scooter companies, you take it to where you want to go and leave it.

I've never used one of the Bird-type scooters, but I used to commute to the marina in SF on Scoot. It really was the most fantastic way I've never gotten to (and from) work.

Car2Go and ReachNow are two other similar services that let you leave the car in any legal parking spot. You can see available stock on a map just like these scooter/bike share companies.
