Dense traffic in city centers: solutions?
Taxistop: “How to convince people not to buy a car?”:
- Purchase of a car = biggest cost- Car OWNERSHIP increases car use and reduces public
transport use- CarSHARING can force a mind change: “Use of car is a choice for carsharers, not a reflex”
Therefore Taxistop invested a lot in carsharing.
