Welcome to a fantasy ride...
...just imagine... everyone would like to own a shopping-trolley SUV Shopping Utility Vehicle Model 2003, luxury chrome version, low mileage, extended loading capacity but where to park?
...just imagine...
...just imagine...
...just imagine...
...just imagine...
...just imagine...
...just imagine...
...just imagine...
...what a luck... that we simply can use one when necessary
...what a luck... that we are so rational about it
...what a luck... that we can leave it after use
...what a luck... that we can do the same with cars
...just imagine... we became with cars as rational as with shopping trolleys...
...just imagine......how much space we could regain in our cities!
Car-Sharing how does it work in practice?
Bremen Car-Sharing Access also directly at cars (at stations with few cars)
Bremen Car-Sharing Bremen: 547.000 inhabitants Operator: cambio 5.000 customers / users (Feb 2009) fleet > 130 cars 41 stations all over the city
Bremen Car-Sharing Development of Car-Sharing in Bremen Growth 5000 4500 4000 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 28 1990 1994 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 3 cars 4400 2600
Car-Sharing + Public Transport Integration of PT and Car-Sharing (Since 1998)
Car-Sharing + Public Transport Electronic Ticket (Chippen) epayment (Shoppen) Electronic car-key (Car-Sharing) Bremer Karte+ (2002)
Car-Sharing + Public Transport
Car-Sharing impacts in Bremen
Car-Sharing + Public Transport Joint offer more use of annual Season Tickets more use of PT (incl...rail) more money spend for PT
Mobility Patterns Car-Sharers are more rational in mobility patterns: - less car mileage - less CO 2 etc km/a - more use of Public Transport km/a 18000 16000 14000 12000 10000 8000 6000 4000 2000 0 walking+cycling public transport car-sharing car previous car-owner become car-sharer. average car owner Study: Energie 2000/ Muheim (Switzerland) 1998
Impacts Mileage reduction in Bremen > 6.9 Mio. km p.a. Better (low-emission) vehicles Incentive for downsizing CO 2 reduction: about: 1,100 tons p.a.
Urban Development Statistics (2006/2007) Increase of inhabitants: + 0.2 % Decrease of motorised vehicles: - 1.6 % Increase of PT rides: + 3.6 %
Urban Development This street is full of conventional cars Every Car-Sharing vehicle replaces 4-8 private cars! Bremen: 900 cars replaced Parking garages for 900 cars = value 9-20 mio
Urban Development and this is what the street looks like with green cars Cities have more than one problem with the intense use of private cars
Urban Development Space allocation: parking space or space for better purposes (social, green business use)
