Going Green Was Never So Profitable!

What is a Carpool?A ‘Carpool’ or ‘Rideshare’ is a flexible commuting arrangement wherein a car isshared by more than one individual to travel together to their destination.

Carpools work in the following ways:

1. An individual carpools with one or more commuters but uses

his/her vehicle daily and is usually compensated towards the cost

of fuel, parking, tolls, etc.

2. Members of a carpool use their own vehicles and alternate driving responsibility on different days.

3. Individuals who do not own a vehicle, carpool by hiring one and sharing the fare.

4. Individuals with a common or en route origin and destination can carpool to work, school/college, events , etc. or even out of town.
