Save money and your environment through car pooling

Save money and your environment through car pooling – Travelling to and from work takes up quite a huge chunk of your time; this is especially true if you live in a big city with heavy traffic. You might find yourself spending many fruitless hours on the road, staring at traffic lights and praying for them to change. The rising fuel cost also adds to the misery that office goers feel regarding their daily car travel. There is also the boredom to consider, most professionals who drive to work often do so alone and during the journey they have nothing to do except staring at the road. But there is a solution to this situation and it comes with some really attractive benefits; the solution is carpooling.

Carpooling can save a lot of money in fuel costs. You can even work during the travel period unless you are driving, and even if you are driving, at the very least, in the company of others, you can evade boredom. You can use the travel time, chatting with your fellow travelers or reading a book, or simply relaxing.

There are also the larger benefits to the environment to consider; by carpooling, you cut back on fuel consumption, which in turn decreases carbon emission. Carpooling means there will be lesser number of cars on the road so there will be less air pollution. Carpooling can also solve the congestion problem that plagues all major cities.

Traditional carpooling is not feasible for office goers, not unless they live in quarters provided by the company and have similar work shifts. This is where professional technology driven carpooling comes in. You can post on carpooling apps which will automatically match you up with other travelers along your route and the money will be transferred to your account online, eliminating any awkwardness about asking for money.
