free-floating or free-flow?

Thanks Thanks for your feedback! I guess Google doesn't like my region/IP/profile for researching this topic... :/ I guess I'll use a different search engine from now on.

I don't know what you Googled, but the results I got were anything but useless. "Free-flow" gets 2.9 million hits in this context, and "free-floating" gets 310,000. Both mean the same thing, you can leave the bike or car in a different place, so it's a matter of personal choice.

"One-way" is another possible term, but "dockless" is something different - it means you don't have to attach it to a bike rack or charging station.

Someone suggested the terms "dockless" for bike sharing and simply "one-way" for car sharing; perhaps that clarifies the context?

Mark Straver (asker) Sep 21, 2020:

Google doesn't say much of anything (in fact the search results are totally useless and unrelated) which is why I tossed it up here; it's a loose term, so I can't really share a sentence it's used in.

What does Google say? Our opinions don't count for much if one term gets a hundred hits and the other a million. And could we have the sentence concerned?
