108. Carsharing
Carsharing is a transport system in which multiple people use the same vehicle at different times instead of each person owning a separate car. Vehicles may be reserved through an organisation, membership service or digital platform and can be collected from fixed parking locations or, in some systems, from within a designated operating area.
Carsharing can reduce the need for private vehicle ownership and may use parking spaces specifically reserved for shared vehicles. The rules, permits and parking arrangements for carsharing differ between countries and cities.
