Mentality stands in way of car sharing in Kazakhstan


Kazakhstanis are not yet ready to give up personal vehicles for the benefit of ecology and efficient urban transport, 
the chairman of the Independent Automobile Union Edward Edokov told a Tengrinews.Car sharing is a system of short-term 
car rental with per-minute or hourly rate, typically used for short intercity trips. In general, car sharing implies the possibility 
of returning the car at any point of service. The system can save up to 70 percent of the total cost of transportation for the 
participants, as they pay only for the time they actually use the car.
According to Edokov, about 5-10 years are needed for people of Kazakhstan to be ready to give up personal vehicles. 
He said that the people in our country found it “mentally difficult” to share their “homes on wheels” with somebody else.
