Summary

Carsharing station, where you get your booked car, often separate areas on parking places. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carsharing

If you are member of a carsharing community, you often get access to cars owned by other communities in other cities. To find these cars, an additional tag would be very useful.

Tags

Applies to nodes and areas.

Tag	Description
amenity=car_sharing	Generic tag for a car sharing station / area.
operator=name	Name of Operator (e.g. "StreetCar", "Zipcar")
capacity=number	Number of cars (for multiple cars at one location)

Icon

The Icon should be simliar to the proposed car_rental icon (A car symbol with a key), but with a "group of people" instead of the key

Comments

• The former proposal was changed several times, so there wasn't a clear proposal/voting at all - I've moved the former discussion / voting to the discussion page and cleaned up this page. Unless there's no doubt about the last proposed tagset (which you can find above), we might just "re-vote" shortly.

• Approval. Though I wonder if carsharing isn´t just some special kind of car_rental (carsharing is by definition a closed community, often with a fee on yearly basis, whereas car_rental is generally open to anyone). The Icon should be simliar to the proposed car_rental icon (A car symbol with a key), but with a "group of people" instead of the key? motp
  • I like your icon idea. If we can also put this into a 16*16 pixel icon to be recognizable, it would be perfect. -- Ulfl 23:16, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Something like this: (i just edited the proposed car_rental symbol a little bit, someone should do a proper svg later ;-). -- motp 20:29, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
      • I've tried with the Gimp to scale it down to 16*16 pixels and it's at least still recognizable :-) -- Ulfl 09:08, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

• I support this proposal. Being a member of a car sharing organisation, I'd not treat it the same as car rentals. I like the idea for the icon being the same as car rentals except exchanging the key by a couple of people --SlowRider 21:14, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

• I approve this proposal. There was discussion in 2005 about standard symbols for UK, Gernmany and also Belgium and someone might like to follow it up and see what was agreed. Is there an international standard? or a bunch of national ones? or what - search for the word 'symbol' in this docn http://www.carplus.org.uk/Resources/pdf/Carsharing_Paris_2005_minutes.pdf (PeterIto 06:41, 9 November 2007 (UTC))
