The launch for shareAcar.com has proved an unprecedented success with more than 500 visitors signing up for membership and starting to contact each other about journey sharing in the first day.

“It was a very busy day” commented John Clark, Director of Officepark Ltd, the company behind shareAcar. “We knew our pre-launch promotion of the concept would mean a lot of people visiting the site, but to have had such a large number join is incredible”.

Continuing he stated “This proves that road traffic is not only a major issue for a large number of people, but they are motivated to try and do something about it. This tends to strongly disprove the theory of the British public leaving it to someone else to worry about…people are voting with their browsers, deciding that our roads are un-usable and actively seeking alternative ways to improve traffic congestion.”

When asked what was next, John stated “we have a lot more work planned to further improve the shareAcar site and service, already we have started to compile the first national directory of park and ride schemes and will be added further relevant information on traffic related subjects”.
