Today, traveling by car is becoming more and more difficult. In addition to traffic jams, the main reason is rising prices, with fuel and travel becoming increasingly expensive. This also applies to maintenance and repairs. Suffice it to say that motorists are using their cars less and less, but many of them have no choice. Really, remote work still a minority, and many workers have to commute to the office every day. If the government introduced a small allowance for the humblest workers, it is not enough.

Public authorities also want to encourage drivers to practice car sharing as much as possible to reduce polluting emissions. Thus, compensation of up to 200 euros is offered to new subscribers on the platforms. However, to no avail, car sharing is still trying to attract motorists. Indeed, a recent study Vinci Highway indicates that 84.7% of drivers drive alone to work each morning. This indicator has increased compared to last year (82.6%).

Nevertheless, it is autosolism it is not practiced in the same way everywhere. It is noticeably stronger around Nantes than in Toulon. On average, the car occupancy rate in France is 1.24 passengers/vehicle, while the government aims to 1.75 passengers per car by 2035 as part of the national low-carbon strategy. According to Vinci, “therefore, this mode of travel through dedicated apps does not exceed 40,000 per day compared to the millions of daily trips by car or public transport.”
