Car-sharing is catching on
Car-sharing is a new concept. Previously, car ownership helped to develop China’s economy and its cities. But now people have found that it has led to traffic jams and other challenges to the environment and economy. Conversely, car sharing serves as a model to provide car access without the requirement of ownership.
Unlike traditional car-rentals over the counter, car-sharing refers to services where users can gain access to vehicles, often by the hour, online. The cars are usually parked at designated parking lots, where drivers can get to and return them. More than 40 companies in China currently offer car-sharing services, while most cars are new energy vehicles.
China’s Ministry of Transport has recently voiced its support for the development of the car-sharing industry. 【写作内容】

Accelerating the development of car-sharing industry does have its own advantages. Not only does it provide an alternative for people to get around but it will also help to reduce the ever increasing number of private cars. Thus, car-sharing service does its part to ease urban traffic and reduce air pollution.
As to how to achieve a sustainable development for car-sharing service, here are some suggestions. On the one hand, the government should strengthen its guidance and monitoring. On the other hand, enterprises themselves should improve their online and offline service abilities, such as ensuring the safety of customers’ private information and building more parking lots and charging posts.
