10 | Introduction: | ||
11 | Hi! I am a member (customer) of the Communauto (formerly Vrtucar) car sharing service in Ottawa. | ||
12 | I built the Communauto Cruncher tool to help me analyze my Communauto bills to see how much I could save by switching to a different plan (hundreds of dollars per year!). I've added a number of other features too. | ||
13 | I am making this tool available for free so that other Communauto members (at least those in Ontario who don't use FLEX) can analyze their usage and plan selection. | ||
14 | This document tracks the latest version of the Communauto Cruncher tool and errata (known bugs/shortcomings/feature ideas). | ||
15 | This tool is not associated with or endorsed by Communauto. | ||
