GETTING A RIDE IN A FAMILY MEMBER'S CAR IS AN IMPORTANT MODE OF ELDERLY TRANSPORTATION, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WITH MOBILITY HANDICAP. HOWEVER THAT KIND OF TRANSPOTATION MIGHT BE UNEXPECTED IN THE NEAR FUTURE, SINCE THE NUMBER OF SINGLE AND COUPLE ELDERLY HOUSEHOLD RELATIVELY INCREASES. ALTHOUGH NUMBER OF ELDERLY DRIVERS IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE RAPIDLY IN THE FUTURE, THE ISSUE HOW TO CREATE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICES THAT CAN OFFER AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF MOBILITY FOR ELDERLY NON-DRIVERS, IS STILL REMAINED. TAXI SHARING AND OTHER SUCH PROGRAMS NEED TO BE INTRODUCED TO MEET LOCAL PIBLIC-TRANSPORT NEED. THE PURPOSE OF THE PRESENT PAPER IS TO MAKE CLEAR ROLES OF CAR PASSENGER TRANSPORT ON MOBILITY OF ELDERLY PEOPLE AND INVESTIGATE THE POSIBILITY OF TAXI SHARING.
