Carpooling Website launched
Carpooling might sound alien to us in a speck but, it is being used
widely around the world for sharing a car with multiple travellers.
Formal carpool projects have been around in a structured form since
the mid 1970s and it has grown to an extent that it serves as a platform
for travelling in various cities locally and even internationally.
Carpooling consists of at least two commuters who ride share to and
from a specific route, using their personal vehicles by either sharing
the driving/riding or driving/riding only.
The advantages of a carpooling system extend even up to communal
level.
It helps improve the region's air quality by removing a considerable
amount of air pollutants caused by unnecessary travels of vehicles.
Carpool.lk has thoroughly concentrated on the safety measures which
could be taken from the administrators' eligibility to provide the best
support and security for the users of the web system.
Carpool.lk is for better commute and quality of life! So why wait?
