Carsharing in Warsaw by spring 2016

A carsharing system, conjuring up images of the Veturilo bike rental system, will be launched in Warsaw in the spring of 2016, at the latest, Polish Radio reported.

The Municipal Transport Authority (ZTM) which will be operating the system will announce a tender in order to choose a company in charge of the fleet.

"Using carsharing will be much cheaper than taxis, because the driver will not have to pay the fuel costs, parking, or spend money on the insurance and servicing," Igor Krajnow from the ZTM.

The fleet is to consist of a few hundred cars.
