private cars
Owned, not shared
Private cars are vehicles owned by individuals or families for personal use, as opposed to commercial vehicles, public transit, or shared transportation.
The term often appears in policy discussions about traffic, parking, and urban planning: The city aims to reduce private car use in the downtown core.
In some contexts, private cars contrast with company cars or rental vehicles.
