As flexibility has become the key concept for the 21 st century, mobility has replaced transport - individual and public. In order to provide seamless mobility to their customers, public transport companies are providing an increasingly broader mix of mobility services by building new alliances with various actors, Car-Sharing operators among them. With this in mind, UITP decided to be a partner in the European moses project (PDF format - 4Mb) , which came to an end early 2005. In the frame of this project, UITP organised a workshop on "Public Transport and Car-Sharing: together for the better" ( Bremen , December 2002) and published the Bremen Paper (PDF format - 200k) presenting guidelines for synergies between public transport and Car-Sharing.  PTI issue 06/2002 was dedicated to Car-Sharing and a Car-Sharing Village was set up at the UITP World Congress in Madrid (May 2003).As Public Transport and Car-Sharing are complimentary, UITP decided to invest in them even more by launching the Car-Sharing Platform (Car-Sharing Platform brochure - available in FR, DE, SP, EN - PDF format - 1,4 Mb ) in June 2005. This Platform aims at bringing together all actors of the sector, i.e. Car-Sharing operators, Public Transport operators, organising authorities, the industry, and academic members. It should stimulate interaction, debate, and the exchange of good practices in order to promote and develop Car-Sharing worldwide.
