Carpooling (also known as car-sharing, ride-sharing,lift-sharing and covoiturage), is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car.
Carpooling reduces the costs involved in car travel by sharing journey expenses such as fuel, tolls, and car rental between the people travelling. Carpooling is also seen as a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way to travel as sharing journeys reduces carbon emissions, traffic on the roads, and the need for parking spaces. Authorities often encourage carpooling, especially during high pollution periods and after fuel rises. Carpooling where the driving is shared can also decrease driving stress as each driver gets a break from being at the wheel.

While we keep complaining about the congestion on roads, the traffic and the pollution, carpool is a concept which can can be a big rescuer. So for all those people driving alone to the office, how about some company, savings in your fuel and of course the good feeling of doing something for Namma Bengaluru :P Your kids can be safely brought home and dropped to school, ladies can catch up with all the gossip travelling together. Men, this could be the excuse for that escape :) Time to carpool.
