‘EXPLAINING THE SHIFT FROM CAR OWNERSHIP TO CAR SHARING’, A COLUMN BY STA CHAIRMAN JOSÉ F. PAPÍ

Sharing –or collaborative- mobility is arguably the most rapidly growing and evolving sector of the sharing economy. In this context, the rapid development of car-sharing is changing the ‘usual’ mobility choices. Nowadays we are observing a growing shift from the paradigm of owning a means of transport to the paradigm of integrated mobility services which allow end users to access individual or public transport services based on their needs and on the destination to be reached.

In this column, featured in Thinking Highways – Issue 4, 2016 (Europe and Rest Of The World), STA Chairman José F. Papí discusses the growth of car-sharing and the conditions that will induce drivers to forgo private ownership.
