You will find information on car driving and pooling services under this Yellow™ heading. A car pooling service is a service offered by members of a community. These assist with the pooling of individuals travelling to common destinations. For example, you might use the services of a car pool if you have several children in your community that need to go to the same place, such as school or a sporting event. You can also use a pooling service to go to work if you have a few colleagues living nearby.
Car pools use the method of a rotating schedule. For example, a carpool that has been organised for a children’s softball league, might have one parent driving to one game, another to the next game, and so on until the schedule is repeated. This helps to both save on fuel costs as well as ease congestion on the roads. Carpooling reduces the costs involved in repetitive or long distance driving by sharing cars or sharing rental charges. In reducing the number of cars on the road, carpooling decreases pollution and the need for parking space, and in a global perspective, reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Shared driving carpooling can also reduce driving stress.
In some cases, companies or local authorities will introduce facilities to encourage private carpooling, often as part of wider transport programs. Car pooling services are sometimes offered by companies on a fee basis as well. In this case, the service might charge on per mile, per trip, or on an hourly rate.
