Carsharing Frees Households from Car Dependence, Boosts Support for Sustainable Transport
Carsharing users who don't have another car drive shared cars more often but drive fewer total kilometers by car. Selling a car after joining carsharing leads to less overall car use. People with a car at home are less likely to reduce their driving after joining carsharing. Those without an extra car are less dependent on cars and more supportive of alternative transport options. Carsharing may make it easier to implement policies that limit private car use.
