GM’s carsharing service, Maven is expected to expand its operations at a very fast pace in New York City area. Maven is already operating in 17 other cities but this expansion in NYC indicates that Maven is planning to be here for a long time. According to GM,” More than 80 vehicles are available in Manhattan, from Columbia University to Battery Park, for hourly or daily reservations. Maven will continue to expand into the boroughs and throughout the city to provide cars around the corner from where New Yorkers live, work, and play, all without a membership fee.” GM further added that, “Maven carefully selected lifestyle-oriented cars with all the amenities needed for travel in and outside of New York. Residents who feel trapped in the densely populated urban environment can escape for short trips in a sporty sedan or a luxury SUV. All Maven vehicles are loaded with technology, including 4G LTE Wi-Fi, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.” Commenting further on the service, Vice President at General Motors Urban Mobility and Maven, Julia Steyn said,” New York City has been part of the fabric of Maven since we launched the brand here in 2015. The addition of Maven City car sharing is an opportunity to showcase what we have learned. We crafted this experience with residents of the city in mind and see this as becoming part of the lifestyle of New Yorkers.”
