Carsharing and Station Cars in Asia: An Overview of Japan and Singapore. In recent years there has been significant worldwide activity in shared-use vehicle systems (i.e., carsharing and station cars). Much of this activity is taking place in Europe and North America; however, there has also been significant activity in Asia, primarily in Japan and Singapore. This paper examines the latest shared-use vehicle system activities in both of these countries, beginning with an historical review followed by an evaluation of their current systems. Overall there are several well-established systems in both Japan (approximately 18 systems, 150 vehicles, 3000 members) and Singapore (approximately 4 systems, 300 vehicles, and 8000 members).

In contrast to most European and North American cities, both Japan and Singapore already have a wide range of viable public transportation modes. Interestingly, the primary carsharing focus in Japan is on business use and on neighborhood residential in Singapore. Car Sharing, an alternative to car rental and car ownership – Zipcar.

Zipcar gains two competitors for Washington drivers. “D.C. just makes a lot of sense for us,” said Nicholas Cole, head of Car2go North America. “There’s a dense population, there’s not much parking and people are used to this kind of transit.” Zipcar, which arrived in the District in 2000, now has about 800 cars in the area. The company says demand for car sharing continues to grow steadily. “At the beginning, a lot of big companies pooh-poohed car sharing as something for the lunatic fringe,” said Mark Norman, president and chief operating officer of Zipcar.

“But now, large, well-established companies are foraying into this space. It benefits all of us.” Washingtonians are used to mixing and matching their modes of transportation, said Cole of Car2go, making the District the perfect market for multiple car-sharing programs to co-exist. “The way we think about it, the tide raises all boats,” Cole said. “Our cars are truly free-floating,” Cole said. “There’s a natural gravity at work with the cars,” Cole said.
