 To meet this "syndrome of non-motorized" the one who will push the non-motorized to buy a car leaving to become an enemy of the planet, the concept of "sharing the car" knows the past five years to grow exponentially. Mobility CarSharing Switzerland, the largest cooperative of its kind in the world, is now 55 000-strong membership. In 2000, Mobility CarSharing and Federal Railways (SBB) have joined forces to propose a new service called "mobility combined."
