Transportation

Again, renting a car is not exactly a new idea, but companies like Uber have really made it a lot easier for people to use transportation as a service and also the growing Carsharing industry is taking car rental to a new level. It's never been easier and cheaper to rent a car for a few hours if you have to run some errands, for example, and don't have a vehicle of your own.

Don't forget that financing for cars is reaching numbers like 84 months-- 7 years-- and getting longer. A burdensome car payment for fewer years is tolerable, but at 7+ years it's debt slavery. The push to electric cars isn't helping matters, either, since they are generally more expensive than gasoline/diesel-powered cars.

Add to both the maintenance and repair costs for modern cars. It's enough to make a car owner switch to becoming a car user.
