Cost-sharing is nothing new nowadays. In France there is a whole network of this type of transportation called “covoiturage” and works perfectly well (from a personal experience;)). The main problem here, in Bed-Zed community, was that inhabitants weren’t quite ready to embrace this great solution, so that most of families living there have even two cars in place of one, or none!

As concerning colors… well if it was on a facade, what would it look like? Total cacophony and chaos. In my opinion, this was a nice solution, pleasant for an eye. But then again, tastes are different :)
