Services like Uber and Lyft operate 24\/7 using phone apps. Car sharing services are a popular choice for those who occasionally need a short-term rental \u2013 choices vary from ZipCar to the peer-to-peer Turo. And, there\u2019s always carpooling with a friend.<\/li>\n<li>Active transportation: With the beautiful weather this summer is giving us, active transportation is a great choice. Companies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/bikesharetoronto.com\/\">BikeShare<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limebike.com\/\">Lime <\/a>take the hassle out of renting with multiple options such as bikes, scooters etc. With docking stations all over the city, you won\u2019t have to worry about parking in specific spots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Car sharing and bike sharing services are relatively new to the GTA and haven\u2019t crossed municipal boundaries to York Region yet, but York Region is growing, so there will be more to come. After all, just five years ago there was no such thing as bus rapid transit, or subway, in York Region. Now we have more than 12 km of rapidways and 18 vivastations, and a subway extension that reaches Highway 7 in Vaughan. Your life and daily activities are unique to you, and your transportation choices should reflect that.\u00a0 Finding new ways to get places is easier than ever with new technologies evolving every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blogpost by: Sara Grilli Work, shopping, school, lunch with friends \u2013 you have places to be, things to do, and you need a way to get there.\u00a0 Your journey has to be tailored to you, and with the drastic makeover transportation has received in recent years; it\u2019s now easier than ever.
