Thanks to the Games, we will transform our city in depth, like a ring road that will become a green belt:

As we know, traveling is becoming more and more difficult these days. Rising prices are under question, and fuel continues to be very expensive, despite a small discount of 10 cents imposed by the government. Be careful because it will end in less than three weeks. But that’s not all. Because at the beginning of the year, customs duties also increased by an average of 2%, and the next year should be even worse. Suffice it to say that many motorists now do not want to use their car for a trip on vacation or even for a trip to work. This trend benefits car-sharing platforms, which have grown dramatically.

The number of bookings is increasing
Indeed, according toNational Observatory of Daily Car Sharing, set up last year by the Ministry of Environmental Transition to take inventory of the home-to-home commuting situation, a practice that has seen great success recently. In November, at least 660,000 trips were recorded on all platforms combined. Including BlaBlaCar, Karos or Klaxit. A real record, and compared to October, this figure increased by 6%. In total, at least 4.6 million trips were recorded in France alone since the beginning of the year.

Strong disproportions
But not all regions are logically in the same boat. Indeed, and unsurprisingly, it is Ile de France that car sharing is the most popular, with more than 225,000 trips recorded last month. Normandy is next with 91,004 trips, followed by Pays de la Loire with no less than 81,175 bookings. There is no doubt that this trend should be confirmed over the next few years as the government now wants to encourage this practice.
