The authorities of large cities, including Moscow, hoping that the development of such basic segments of the sharing economy as car sharing and a taxi will solve the perennial problem of big cities — traffic jams during rush hour. The economy of collaborative consumption the future of cities, echoed urbanists. But the pandemic COVID-19 may ruin these plans: the fear epidemic is now forcing people to adhere to social distance not only in public spaces but also in personal life. Already, citizens began to change their model of transport mobility, returning to the idea of personal cars.The alarmists pushing tormosov of the employees of “b” tells how he is day to day, watching the same picture from my window — in the Parking lot in front of his house increases the number of vehicles from car-share, but the locals don’t use them. Although the pandemic is to find the area of a car to rent was problematic: the demand for them was huge. The situation has changed for two reasons.The first — the one that lies on the surface: for a two-month regime of self-isolation of the Muscovites, when the use of car-sharing were almost impossible, specialized companies have lost the basic coverage in the city centre and relocated in the suburbs. But the Muscovites who live outside the Third ring road, is also afraid to use share services, says the Director of practice Advisory services in the areas of strategy and operating performance of retail business of PwC in Russia Olga Sumishevskiy.This is the second reason we can see in the city Parking, crowded unclaimed cars from car sharing. The townspeople shun the rented car, although the mayor Sergei Sobyanin allowed to use without any additional conditions.However, as reported this week, representatives of the two leading capital operators of car — sharing YouDrive and Belkacar in the first day of work karteninhaber companies in Moscow, June 10, the demand for services almost returned to the levels before the pandemic coronavirus. But this can be a short-term phenomenon. Judging by the results of a survey recently conducted BCG among Muscovites, many citizens in the coming months I will try to use the minimum of car-sharing services, or even abandon it. Such was 57%.In this case, Muscovites are not unique. For example, 56% of residents of other Russian cities is also not really in a hurry to use the car sharing. In the US, the number of such “alarmist” about the Russian level of about 60%. In EU countries the figure is higher, at 70%. Perhaps only the people of China are more loyal to this kind of transportation is about 45% of respondents said they will refrain from this service.Disturbing nopcommerce, the residents of the Russian capital still has a distinctive feature — high level of anxiety. From the same BCG survey shows that only 1% of respondents are ready in the coming months to use a rental car, while the whole of Russia, these brave men was 8%, and around the world — 12%. This factor will obviously affect the market-share, the capacity of which, as previously predicted by PwC, by 2025, in Moscow alone could reach 30 thousand cars. Against this background, experts say “Kommersant”, the application YouDrive and Belkacar look, to put it mildly, ambiguous.”Admittedly calls for the head of business Analytics at CBRE Claudia Tchistov— that many segments of the sharing economy have demonstrated their weaknesses in terms of such a massive challenge as the pandemic”. Even more painful for the followers of the religion of the sharing economy sounds it is the opinion of expert: “a Lot of (related to sharing economy.— “B”) ideas of unicorns in Silicon valley USA crashed on your current reality.” Moreover, the Director of Department of consulting and Analytics Knight Frank Olga Shirokova, in some countries even build pessimistic forecasts about the decline of this type of economy because of fears of a new pandemic.”It could be called postpandemic injury, if such a definition would be in psychology, but this condition is deeper than, say, anxiety, which experts know how to treat,” says psychologist Julia Nikitina. However, she continues, people still have to break established during the quarantine of the wall. Another thing, what losses they will suffer at the same time.Own car is metropola this will start breaking, it will take time, which in this case can not be cured, but rather, destructive to affect some segments of the sharing economy. “In this market most during the regime of isolation to the greatest extent it affected the car sharing and taxi”,— shares his observations Claudia Chistova.The argument about taxi is also confirmed by the BCG study: the results show that 52% of Muscovites are not ready in the near future to use this mode of transport. In Russia as a whole, the figure is 49%. Russia on this indicator closer to the EU, where approximately 50% of respondents said that they are ready to abandon the taxi. In the USA the figure was about 40%, in China — 18%.But residents of EU countries considered safe to travel by public transport, and in China about 5% of respondents are willing to abandon the subway and city transport. In Moscow, 54% of respondents are likely in the coming months after the lifting of restrictions on movement around the city will refuse to travel by public transport because of fear of infection. As a whole across Russia this indicator is lower — 47%. Again, this demonstrates the level of anxiety of the Muscovites. “Here everything is clear: life in the metropolis is not only delights Goro��ray of comfort, but also panic attacks, problems with emotional status,— says Yulia Nikitina.— This situation podkarantinnoy period will only get worse”.At the same time, as found by the survey, the majority of Muscovites are ready to return to his old habit — to go to work on the car, even if the business center is located in the city centre and have to spend money on paid Parking. At least two-thirds of the inhabitants of the metropolis after the remote format will again be replaced by the usual stay in the office, going two or three times a week to get to work that way. Here we are very similar to the people of China and the United States.The bike only for excursionista because of the pandemic, the chain of services in the key segments of the sharing economy led to changes in models of transport mobility of citizens. And that’s bad news for the authorities of cities, guides the multi-billion sums for development of transport infrastructure. All of these projects, they argue that the higher the level of comfort of public transportation, the more citizens will abandon their cars in favor of subways or buses. Before the pandemic, for example, in Moscow and London, the trend has been obvious. But in these cities the citizens to abandon their cars forced the growth of direct and indirect costs for the maintenance of the car.Although Europe, said Claudia Chistova, for several years demonstrated its commitment to the bike. And in the US on the background of the pandemic in big cities is experiencing record demand for the purchase of bicycles.Although Moscow in the first years of joining the town hall team of Sergey Sobyanin tried to become one of the major cities friendly to cyclists, so it didn’t. Recent statements by officials about the creation of new bike lanes are mostly of tour routes. That is to get on the bike, say, at home with the sleeping area to work in the city centre safely is unlikely.Some pessimists, however, believe that Moscow will never become a Cycling city because, again, climatic conditions. Optimists believe otherwise, and cite the following data: in calgary, Canada, where winters are too severe, the total length of the paths exceeds 1,25 thousand km, while in the Finnish capital Helsinki — more 2,28 thousand km But Moscow can boast of about 800 km.
