Zipcar and MBTA, Sitting in a Tree

Zipcar and MBTA have formed an alliance, and Zipcars have been positioned at various MBTA stations to make life even easier for occasional drivers.

A total of 24 Zipcars will be at the following T stops:
Red line - Alewife, JFK/UMass, Savin Hill, North Quincy, Quincy Center, Quincy Adams
Green line - Riverside, Woodland, Brookline Village
Orange line - Forest Hills, Malden, Oak Grove
Blue line - Left all alone at this time. Show the blue line a little love, people!
Silver line - Also left alone, but as it is a car in it's own right, it doesn't count.

The Zipsters celebrated their expansion today at South Station. They parked a Nissan named "Veggie" in the middle of the floor. Alas, we missed the music, but the Zipsters were holding a Zipcar "Wheel of Fortune" in which passers-by could spin a wheel for various prizes.

Potential Zipcar drivers spun for driving passes and T-shirts, but most of them were getting "mystery prizes." Bostonist saw one guy who was underwhelmed with his mystery prize – a hat – and he gave it back. High expectations!
