In Russia, you have to pay to sit


With the idea of keeping expenses down there's car-sharing which isn't quite as harsh.

Car Sharing pilot projects like Witkar began as early as the 1960's and 1970's, but modern car sharing programs launched in 1987 in Switzerland and later in 1988 in Germany, came to North America via Quebec City in 1994. As of January 1st, 2010 - based on data provided by Susan Shaheen, University of California, Berkeley - 27 U.S. carsharing programs claimed 388,089 members sharing 7,588 vehicles; and 61,944 members shared 2,143 vehicles among 19 carsharing organizations in Canada.
