We have noticed that Skoda Rapids with automatic transmission got quite popular. Knowing that we added brand new Rapids to both Brno and Prague. Rapid Raymont will reinforce the largest Brno A zone. Rapid Robert will be added to designated parking area Staré Město (Old Town) near the main tran station so that it is available also for car-sharers from other cities than Prague.

Autonapůl has been around for yet another year. What did it feel like? What went alright and what went wrong? We want to review it here on our blog with you. Let’s start.

In the past weeks we were collecting feedback from you regarding pick up/drop off zones in Brno and analyzed a lot of additional data available. We know from you that overlaps of zones in Brno were confusing for you. It was not always clear where each car belongs. Now we come up with a good news! In most zones, we eliminated their overlaps so that you understand them more easily. We are working to include zone mapping directly into the booking system, as many of you wished. And the most important thing? We are adding brand new zones in trial mode. These reflect the new residental parking regulation in Brno as well, plus the anticipated “big train lockout”, starting in December.

Starting in October, Autonapůl is launching test project for expats living in Brno. In cooperation with Foreigners.cz, we are moving Citigo Kodos to the Domeq premises at Dornych street, in the industrial area Ponávka. From now on Kodos will have permanent reserved parking lot right next Domeq. The vehicle will be available non-stop to Domeq tenants, the entire Ponávka area and all other carsharers of Autonapůl. Kodos, like all the other cars of the Autonapůl Brno fleet, can be driven to the Brno city center and park at the so-called blue zones of residential parking, free of charge. Domeq tenants can also take advantage of the opportunity to bring any other car from the carsharing fleet in Brno and other cities after registering with Autonapůl.

Can you imagine cities with much fewer cars? Trees instead of parking lots? Can you picture yourself breathing fresh air instead spending time in traffic jams breathing fumes?

It is exactly this quality of life in cities which the campaign European Mobility Week (EMW) seeks to promote. Every year between 16th and 22nd September thousands of cities in the whole continent join in. EMW features „Car Free Day“, too.

Summer season is approaching an end and we have again prepared a couple of news for you. Above all it concerns to Prague fleet updates and also updates of some parking zones.
