[sustran] Car-sharing

[Madhav Badami]

Recently, Eric Britton of Ecoplan International raised the issue of car-sharing.

Re: this, the following, from "Harper's Index" in the latest issue of
Harper's magazine (July 1998), might be of interest: 


Maximum business deduction allowed US employers per employee parking space
they provide: $ 175
Maximum deduction allowed employers for van-pool or mass-transit expenses,
per employee: $ 65.

Go figure !

I wonder if anyone can refer me to similar data for other OECD countries.
