West Village Driving the Car-Free Revolution

BSB member West Village is driving the car-free revolution on Boundary St, West End with the launch of the first GoGet car share service in a residential development in Brisbane.

West Village’s fleet of 10 GoGet vehicles will put a reliable, convenient and affordable transport option on the doorstep of West End residents who wish to live car-free.

It will also be the largest GoGet pod in Brisbane.

The online service allows its members to pay only for the time they use a car; which can be hired for as little as one hour, with rates working out to between $6 to $8 per hour, including fuel and insurance.
