(Bloomberg) -- General Motors Co. can’t sell cars to many apartment-dwelling New Yorkers, so it’s testing a plan to rent them one.

GM will try a pilot program with residents of the Ritz Plaza apartments in Times Square, offering them a crack at renting GM cars by the hour or the day to get around New York.

They rely instead on cabs, the subway or ride-hailing services such as Uber.
