Free-floating Car Sharing

Free-floating Car-sharing service offers residents who do not wish to own a vehicle the opportunity to rent vehicles for a specified period, in minutes, hours or days. The service is provided in coordination with private sector operators to offer vehicles throughout the city. This is one of the key green transport initiatives that aim to reduce car ownership and individual use of private vehicles thereby promoting shared services and reducing vehicle emissions as some of the vehicles are also low emission.

This service aims to encourage changing travel behaviors towards sustainable mobility and reduce congestion while changing the transport modes used to more efficient and sustainable modes of transport.

 

Car Sharing Benefits:

  • Reduces the need to own a personal car and promotes shared services
