BlaBlaCar, the world's largest long-distance car-sharing service with some 20 million members, yesterday announced it is launching in Brazil. (EFE).- BlaBlaCar, a virtual community connecting people willing to share the costs of a road trip, is up and running in Brazil, the company said Monday. Having already launched services in Mexico in April and raised $200m in new investment in September, BlaBlaCar said it saw great potential in Brazil, where 50 million cars hit the roads daily. "Brazil has immense potential for long-distance car-sharing," BlaBlaCar said in a statement. The company will offer its first car share scheme to users of Brazil's national rail network, which runs from Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro. The country's tolls are the highest in the world while Brazilians must face a recent hike in the price of fuel."
