A recent study by Perceptum revealed that carsharing services could reduce traffic in Bucharest and other large cities in Romania by 25%, Business Review reported.

The survey also found that allowing carsharing services to operate in Romania would reduce the need for parking spaces, cut maintenance costs by up to 40%, and decrease carbon dioxide emissions by 290 kilograms per carshare user.
