EXCLUSIVE: Studies by shared transport charity Collaborative Mobility UK have uncovered growing use of car and bike share schemes.
Scotland's car club membership rose by a fifth last year and replaced more than 8000 privately-owned vehicles, new research reveals.
CoMoUK said their two new reports on Scots participation in car share and bike share schemes revealed how rising numbers of people are saving money and leading more active lives amid the cost-of-living crisis. Rachael Murphy, the charity’s Scotland director, said: “Car clubs offer a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to private car ownership.“The benefits for motorists are significant - thousands of pounds in potential savings per year on car ownership costs.
“If Scotland is to meet its ambitious climate change targets, we need to embrace shared transport options and reduce our reliance on private cars.” CoMoUK’s survey of car club members found 78 per cent agreed membership had saved them cash compared to owning or leasing a vehicle.
