CAR SHARING IN CAGLIARI FROM NOVEMBER

The next service of Cagliari green, European and ecologist will be the Car Sharing. Car Sharing, similar to bike sharing, is none other than the temporary rental of a car to get around the city from a stall and then return it to another station parking.

The service will start in November.

A service of rental cars also do-it-yourself, within the city and this is new. It proposes the City. You pay an annual subscription, you can book your car such as piazza Giovanni XXIII. And the deposits in Via Crispi. The cost is related to the distance traveled. But gasoline, brake pads (and also for the headache for parking that is not), audit and insurance are no longer deal (and worry) of motorists. In short, in the middle of traffic Cagliari, in the car, yes, but not with their car. The service has already been adopted in many other urban centers (cities but also towns under thirty thousand inhabitants) of the Peninsula, will start in a few weeks. Announcing the news is Guido Portuguese, chairman of the Transportation and mobility of the Municipality. “The procedure of Car Sharing – he says – is very simple: the car will be collected and reported in a parking lot adjacent to his home, paying a few euro for the time necessary to the effective temporary use.” Not unlike what happens with the “bike sharing”, the user entered in the service book the car and goes to pick it up in the parking lot. The cost to the user provides for the payment of an annual fee and the “quotas on consumption”, relating to individual periods of use, of course, in proportion to the duration of the reservation and the actual distance. “When you have a private car – says Portuguese – most of the costs are independent of the use made of it, such as cost of purchase, maintenance, insurance and taxes are substantial expenditure from which a driver can not escape.” In Cagliari Autoservizi Mereu place on the rental service in November and civic administration has requested the use of twenty stalls located in squares and streets covering almost all districts of Cagliari: Republic Square, De Gasperi, John XXIII , Via Crispi, Amps, Santa Gilla, Scano, Trentino, Porta Cristina and Civil Hospital. The administration has decided to agree, giving an impression “green” to the project. Just like the color of the stalls provided by the entire city. “This system will lead to real savings for motorists. There is a tendency – said to perceive only the Portuguese-pocket costs, fuel, tolls, stops while the car alloy shared the costs of using the car, only to its actual use. Finally, do not underestimate the positive effects on the environment resulting from fewer cars on the road. ” The arrangement of green stripes (which is in addition to the white, pink, blue and yellow) will not be made at random. Take the stalls (two) of the Republic square: they exit the metro and next to the rack of the bike sharing. In piazza Giovanni XXIII (5) same principle possible combination of bike and car. Car sharing station on Via Crispi, however, could be strategic for those who arrive in the city by ARST or train: To get there from Piazza Matteotti just need to cross the Via Roma.

The car parks, stations, bases, stalls (call them what you will) of car sharing in Cagliari will in all probability twenty, Republic square, De Gasperi, John XXIII, Via Crispi, Amps, Santa Gilla, Scano, Trentino, Porta Cristina and Civil Hospital. Close to Hospitals, Court and services, but also to train stations, buses, light rail and bike sharing basis for a modern integrated transport system.
