Katarzyna Turon    

Resumen

Different types of transport solutions that are to influence the sustainability of urban logistics are increasingly widely used around the world. The same applies to the opportunities offered by the implementation of shared mobility services. According to this idea, car-sharing systems are currently present on six continents of the world and it is anticipated that by 2025, there will be over 36 million users worldwide sharing car sharing services. In line with this trend, it is worth paying attention to aspects that will encourage the public to use car-sharing services. Because the price is one of the main factors for the society during making a decision about using car-sharing services, the author decided to analyze the costs of car-sharing mobility. In the text were presented basic assumptions about car-sharing services and their development. Then, the article show the analysis of the cost of using services on six continents in the line of temporary and parking fees. In addition, the work also refers to the impact of the type of vehicle fleet on the price level. The aim of the work was to assess the occurrence of differences between the services offered and the relationship between costs and the assumptions of sustainable transport development.
