CBS 2 Chicago takes a look at I-GO

The Chicago CBS affiliate featured CNT’s car-sharing program, I-GO, on its news broadcast and website:

Car-Sharing Program Can Save You Money

Want a car, but not all the headaches and hassles? If you live in the city, there’s a way you can get around at a fraction of the cost of owning a car. It’s Chicago’s car-sharing program called I-Go. […]

Beth Schipke and her husband Mike live and work in the south loop. They were spending more than $600 a month on a car they used only once every couple weeks. Car-sharing was created for people like them.

“The ideal candidates are people who live in congested neighborhoods. They use transit or walk to get to work, and they need a car sometimes,” said I-Go President Sharon Feigon.

The Schipke’s reduced their driving costs to about $100 a month by joining I-Go.
