  • Exploring the Car-Sharing Culture Shift in Metro Vancouver
    Changing Gears: Exploring the car-sharing culture shift in Metro Vancouver January 2018 Highlights • Vancouver has more car-sharing vehicles per capita than any other North American city. The region’s car-sharing fleet of about 3,000 vehicles is the largest in Canada, and is larger than fleets in key U.S. car-sharing cities such as Seattle, Portland and San Francisco. • An October 2017 Vancity survey targeting more than 4,000 car-share members in B.C. found: n One in three joined a car-share program in the previous 12 months, while two in three joined within the last two years. n More than half of respondents now belong to two or more car-share programs. n The most common reasons for using car-share services are convenience (95%) and saving money (62%), the Vancity survey found, while concern for the environment was cited by 58%. n The strongest car-sharing benefits relate to psychological factors, such as sense of freedom and peace of mind. Getting to certain places are of less significance. n More than one-quarter of survey respondents have disposed of at least one private vehicle to car-share, while 40% have avoided acquiring a private vehicle due to a car-sharing preference. n Younger car-share members are the least likely to say they enjoy not owning a private vehicle. They are also the most likely to say they would sacrifice things such as chocolate and ice cream, an annual vacation and their sense of smell for 12 months, in exchange for the free use of a private car for a year.

  • Electric Vehicles (Evs) Ecosystem Strategy
    Vancouver’s EV Ecosystem Strategy City of Vancouver November 2016 {00580068v1} i | Page Vancouver’s EV Ecosystem Strategy Summary The EV Ecosystem Strategy builds on the City’s experience with electric vehicles, or “EVs”, since 2007; and, formalizes the City’s role in the expansion of charging options until the year 2021. As part of the Renewable City Strategy, the City committed to developing an electric vehicle infrastructure strategy to support the transition to renewably-powered transportation, this is the first five-year strategy to make that a reality. What is an EV Ecosystem? Electric vehicles integrate into the urban environment and daily life in a way that fossil-fueled vehicles cannot. EVs can charge on any accessible electrical outlet, but at the same time require charging times that are much longer than is required to fill up with a liquid fuel. EVs can be fueled at night in a person’s garage, at their workplace parking stall, while buying groceries or stopping for a morning cup of coffee. At the same time, a typical day of driving in Vancouver requires about 4 hours charge time on a wall outlet, one hour on a “Level 2” station or about 3 to 5 minutes at a Fast Charging Station. In expanding access to EV charging in Vancouver, the City considers all of these interactions and the required time to charge a car. The integration of EV infrastructure into the community requires an understanding of the types of homes and businesses in each neighbourhood, the existing EV charging network, and the amount of time residents spend at different services in that area.

  • Impact of Alwal Rythu Bazaar on Farmers - an Empirical Study
    Global Journal of Retail Management. ISSN 2277-3231 Volume 11, Number 1 (2021), pp. 9-26 © Research India Publications http://www.ripublication.com Impact of Alwal Rythu Bazaar on Farmers - An Empirical Study Dr. Subi Varghese Faculty of Management, Head of the Department, B. Voc. (Retail Management and IT). St. Francis College for Women, Begumpet, Hyderabad – 16, Telangana Abstract The study examines the impact of functioning of Alwal Rythu Bazaar on farmers/sellers, their problems and their overall satisfaction levels. The villages from which the farmers bring their produce, their age group, their gender, the mode of transport they use, the problems faced in transportation and selling of produce, stall occupancy are studied. Keywords: Sellers, produce, mode of transport, stall occupancy. INTRODUCTION Rythu Bazaar is a farmer’s market in Telangana, India. It is run by the Government of Telangana for all kinds of farmers with various sizes of landholdings. The first Rythu Bazaar was started in January 1999 during the reign of Chandrababu Naidu, then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Rythu Bazars were introduced to eliminate the middlemen. In Rythu Bazaars, farmers could sell their produce directly to the consumers at reasonable rates that were fixed by the government representatives every day. This working model benefits both the farmers and the consumers alike.
