I asked 500 people!"People who want to have cars" on summer trips and everyday feet in the Corona

■ The need for private cars is increasing due to the corona evil

Soon the summer leisure season.On the other hand, the effects of the new colon virus infection are still invisible, with more than 100 people infected every day in Tokyo.

Meanwhile, Kinto (Kinto), which provides Toyota's subscription (flat -rate car) service, conducted a questionnaire survey on summer trips and daily movements.It turns out that the car has been reviewed as a way to move in avoiding "3 dense".

This survey shows 500 men and women in their 20s and 60s nationwide for three days from June 19 (Fri) to June 21 (Sun) (50 men and women each in the 10 -year -old man and woman.It was held on the Internet for 250 women).

According to the report, as of mid -June when the questionnaire was conducted on summer trips, 79 people answered that "there is nothing decided"..6 %.In a question about how to spend the summer leisure, 56 people answered, "Spend slowly at home.".6%and a majority.It turns out that there is still a strong stay home.

Also, in the survey, if you go on a trip under the current Corona, you have a question about "what is important?"

"Less risk of infection" 58.0%, "You can move safely without accidents" 31.2 % ranks higher.In addition, "travel expenses are low" 28.4 %, "good cost performance" 25.It is also known that 8 % is also important.

Regarding the question "Be aware when going on a trip", "make it a nearby" 71.8 %, "Short days" 65.There are many answers of 6 %, and "within 3 days of 2 nights" including day trips 81.6 % seems to be mainstream.

These can be seen that "safe, cheap, close and short" is the keyword of travel under the corona.

Interesting is the result of the questionnaire, "What kind of transportation can be used?"67 people answered "private car".It is overwhelmingly 6 %.

After all, it seems that cars are more likely to avoid "3 dense" than public transportation that many people, such as trains, Shinkansen, airplanes and buses, move at once.

Furthermore, since the proportion of people who use rental cars and car sharing in cars is small, it has been found that there are many needs to "use private cars" for travel.

In the survey, we also conduct a questionnaire on the "transportation method you want to use on a daily basis".

As a result, the top 3 is "walk" 83.8 %, "private car" 79.0 %, "bicycle" 63.6 %.On the other hand, "train" 31.0 % and "bus" 19.4 %, "Shinkansen" 20, indispensable for business trips.8 % and "airplane (domestic flight)" 16.It is known that 4 % use is low.

Furthermore, when I asked the top 3 "why I want to use", all of them "can reduce the risk of infection" (48 on foot).0 %, private car 68.9 %, bicycle 48.7%), "Because we can avoid crowds" (34 walk).4 %, private car 50.6 %, bicycle 39.Many people answered 6%).

In this way, it can be seen that many people want to use private cars, but on the contrary, rental cars and car sharing, which are other cars, are the only people who want to use it, as in travel.

Furthermore, the questionnaire has also asked the question "I want to hold a private car/I want to continue to hold private cars in the future", and 75..0 % answered "I want to hold it."

Also, when I heard about changes in awareness of automobiles that triggered the spread of the new colonovirus, 15.4 % answered, "I started to consider purchasing a car."

In addition, a questionnaire is also questionnaire on "changing awareness of movement due to the expansion of the new colon virus infection."

The result is "we have emphasized safety over convenience of movement" 51.0 % increases in the order of "becoming more secure than the cost of moving".

In addition, when I asked a person who answered that there was a change in consciousness, both said that "I want to protect myself and my family from the infection of the new colonavirus" exceeded 70 %, which is the highest percentage.I am.

From these results, it can be presumed that "using a car and using it for traveling" has become more aware that it is safe for travel and everyday feet.

Until the corona evil, "cars away" in urban areas had a problem.There is also the background of new services such as car sharing.

It's very interesting that after the corona evil, at least the need for "private cars" is increasing at least as a consciousness of people.

Not only public transportation such as trains, buses, and airplanes, but also private cars are better than car sharing cars and rental cars used by multiple people.There, the car owned by themselves can manage safety and infection measures, etc., and the consciousness of being more "relieved" is working.In other words, it is easy to take self -defense measures.

In any case, it is certain that cars are now attracting attention as one of the new life styles under the new colona.

It is said to be "once every 100 years", and it is a world of cars where new trends such as automatic driving cars, electric vehicles, and car sharing are rushing, but it will also help people's lives and provide safety and pleasure in the future.I hope to evolve as a vehicle to do.
