Zipcar and Flexcar, zealous rivals, both say they will break even for the first time next month, even while they are preparing to expand into new markets from Chicago to Denver and Minneapolis. Across the U.S., car-sharing membership and revenues are expected to grow tenfold over the next five years. Says Shaheen...
