Carpooling in Belgium
Why would I need a car for transporting my kids? Need is the wrong word.
No car family with 4 kids.
Cambio is the major car sharing scheme in Belgium.
I live in my business (a Bed and Breakfast) so have no commute, also no kids and move around generally by bike / foot.
Generally think car-pooling a good idea, though the best (green option) would surely be to have a public transport system that worked for (almost!) everyone
