City dwellers ditching private motors to join car clubs with memberships soaring

Scotland's car club membership rose by a fifth last year and replaced more than 8000 privately-owned vehicles, new research reveals.

Studies by shared transport charity Collaborative Mobility UK (CoMoUK) also found nearly half a million journeys were made using shared bikes in 2022.

There were 46,000 car club members in Scotland last year, a 21 per cent increase on the previous 12 months.
