Unsurprisingly you can get a great deal of help in understanding our topic by turning to the Web.
Here you have a first set of tools that we have worked on over the last several years that can provide you with useful background with a single click.
| 1. Wikipedia on Share Transport |
Share Transport - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share_transport
This link takes you to the "Share Transport" entry in the Wikipedia. We originally started this entry in February 2006, and for now it is very sketchy. We hereby invite members of the group to go into the entry to deepen its content and edit for both completeness and accuracy.
The following individual share modes or related are presently covered in the Wikipedia entry. (In each case we have selected the main international usage, but also put the other variants and like terms just after the link).
* Bicycle sharing system. (Also: PBS, public bikes, community bikes)
* Carsharing. ("Car clubs", UK only. Fleet sharing.)
* Demand responsive transport. (DRT, Dial-a-Ride, Dial-a-Ride Transit)
* Dynamic ridesharing . (Dynamic carpooling, real-time ride-share)
* Green travel
* Hail and ride . (Hail & Ride)
* High-occupancy vehicle lane. (Carpool- commuter- diamond- express- transit-lanes
* Hitchhiking . (Hitch-hiking, hitching, thumbing a ride)

As you click to the link, you will note that in a number of cases entries are also available in other language Wikipediae. The diligent searcher will find it useful to check them out as well, and for that of course nothing beats the best machine translation tools.
We also hope that once the entry firms up, some of us will step forward and start to create other-language entries.
