Free trials of public transport & bike-rentals to encourage sustainable commuting
Owning a car in Switzerland costs around 733 CHF per month (2), making public transport a cost-saving alternative. Reducing car use, can have profound benefits for individuals and communities. By offering free trials of public transport, bike rentals, or ride-sharing, it encourages a shift toward sustainable commuting. Participants benefit from lower expenses, reduced stress, and improved health while contributing to cleaner air and less congestion (5). Many discover public transport’s efficiency and cycling’s health benefits (4).
Road transport accounts for approximately 40% of CO2 emissions in Switzerland (1). For many, driving is an automatic choice, often perceived as the most convenient or reliable option. Yet, in urban areas, car dependency can mean longer commute times due to traffic and added stress. Offering people the chance to experience free of charge alternative mobility solutions removes barriers to change (6), allowing them to evaluate firsthand whether these options can enhance their daily lives. Shifting transportation habits can be seen as an opportunity to simplify commuting, improve quality of life, and contribute to a cleaner, more livable city.
