Green Benefits
The Green Argument for cityhop
As overseas research has shown there are three major positive environmental effects from a car share programme.
-
These are:
- Members shed cars – over 40% of car share members in the USA decided against the purchase of a car and ended up selling a car.
- Members drive less – car useage of individuals reduced by as much as 50%.
- Members use other transportation – members use the most efficient means of transportation for their task – walking, biking, public transport, taxi or carshare.
cityhop is environmentally friendly because we use new fuel efficient cars. But cityhop has other benefits too. It encourages public transport use which means fewer cars on the road resulting in less congestion, fewer greenhouse gas emissions, less pollutants in our airways and waterways, convenience, cost efficiencies and money savings.
By being a member of cityhop you are supporting climate protection. An eco-friendly car share vehicle means people are not using their own car and are thereby contributing to climate protection and smaller “foorprints”.
