Passage D
Most people buy and use a car as a means of transportation form here to there. Wouldn’t it be great if there were other ways to travel easily without a car?
In recent years, the idea of“car sharing”has become popular in Europe and the
United States. Car sharing is a system where a group of people share the use of a few cars, rather than each person owning one.
On average, we drive our own cars as little as one hour a day.It’s a waste of
wase of money, isn’t it? To save costs,some peoplecame up with the idea of “car sharing”.Instead of owning our own car,which costs money every day, we can share cars and only pay money when we use them .This is the car sharing system.
In Switzerland, a leader in car sharing , almost 40,000 people have joined the
car sharing system, and borrow and return cars at 800 places across the country. In this system, people who drive less than 10,000 kilometers a year can reduce their driving costs. This is because they only have to pay for the basic fees and charges based on the actual travel distance. But when people own their own cars, they need to pay taxes, car inspection fees, parking fees, repair costs and so on .Since this system reduces household expenses, more and more people are starting to do car sharing.
Car sharing is the beginning of a new idea in transportation in which we can
use a service we need, without buying a product—a car.
