Who says carpooling has to be a local initiative? Delhi-based husband and wife team, Vinay and Sujata Arora have launched an all-India online carpool initiative on www.poolmycar.in. They call it “corporate carpooling”.

Vinay Arora was tired of the congestion on the roads of his city. “I spoke to people about why the government isn’t doing anything about the traffic and realised that the government is trying, by making flyovers,” he said. “But you can’t level all of Delhi into a travel ground.” The solution is, of course, to reduce the number of cars on the road. But public transport isn’t something citizens have much influence over. So Vinay and Sujata hit upon the idea of finding carpooling partners online. “If people can find a life partner online, finding a travel partner shouldn’t be difficult.”

Naturally, this wasn’t easy. For starters, people worry about how safe it is to share your car with a stranger. Then, in a city like Delhi, two people could travel from Gurgaon to south Delhi every day and not be travelling to quite the same destination. This is the reason why the website offers personalised solutions to its members’ travel plans. (Sujata is  managing  the site, respond to queries and monitor the website’s live chat.) It has also tied up with companies, so that there is now intra-office carpooling.

Unfortunately, as clever and environmentally friendly as the idea is, it is not financially sustainable yet. “Luckily, we have business and land in Punjab and make money from farming,” Vinay admitted. “This is our way to do something good and it’s only possible because we have money.” Do your bit by giving it a shot. Of course, it does mean being on time every single day! Radhika Arora

What is a Carpool?

Carpooling is a kind of arrangement between people where many people traveltogether in the one car in order to save money and environment. The caris shared by the driver and one or more passengers. People working in differentcorporate’s use carpooling to get to their office. Carpooling is also calledcar-sharing, ride-sharing, and lift-sharing. It reduces the costs involved inrepetitive or long distance driving by sharing the fuel  charges with car owners.

People working in the corporate world and IT sector have shown thereinterest in this carpool concept.: We are all actually contributing towardsglobal warming and there is need to find a solution like carpooling.

Is carpooling good? 

Its very nice to writesomething about carpooling. This concept is getting popular day by dayas it has become need of hour for all of us to share car / van / Taxi / Auto or any four wheeler journey to meet the rising fuel price, traffic congestions and air pollution. 
No doubt , Govt of all countries  is working very hard to fight againsttraffic problem by  widening roads and making flyovers but the mostimportant two facts which we all need to understand are:- First,  thereis a limit to widening Roads and making flyovers and thereafter wecannot widen roads or make flyovers. Second , there is no limit toincreasing vehicles. Delhi is getting roughly 1000 new four wheelers onroad everyday and this number will increase once low cost carslike Tata Nano are introduced to the market. Can we imagine traffic onroads after 1 year? Apart from increasing road capacity of handlingtraffic, we have to start thing about reducing traffic of the roadstoo. www.Poolmycar.in is doing efforts in direction of reducing traffic by pooling car other travelers.

 Normallyvehicle's have fuel efficiency of 10 KM/L. If a vehicle runs 20,000km/year , this means ,  it will consume 2000 L fuel in one year. Burning 1 L of petrol emits 2.5 kg of carbon dioxide. Thus the vehiclewill emit about 5000 kg of CO2 in one year. An average mature tree canabsorb about 4.5-5 kg carbon dioxide per year. Thus we need about 1000mature trees to absorb the pollution (carbon dioxide) emitted by onecar. If a single car is pooled, this could reduce four cars from theroad which is equal to growing more than 4000 trees   
We all doexpect a lot from government in terms of reducing traffic and dosomething for reducing pollutions too but the question arises that dowe understand our responsibilities? While driving to office in themorning, if you have look on all car's near by your car's, you willfind that each car is carrying only one passenger. If these all peopleunderstand concept of carpooling, this number of cars can be reduced toone fifth as each one which was carrying one passenger, will becarrying 5 passengers. I asked few people if given a chance, will theyrefer carpooling? I got different answers. Some people said they willdefinitely like this option. Some people said they will definitelywelcome this concept but with some terms and conditions like who willtake responsibility of security? Some people said they need a goodresource to find a right person to pool with. Some people were justwilling to pool with people of there own organization. To makecarpooling viable one of website, www.poolmycar.in , has taken care ofall these security concerns. This website offers corporate carpoolinginstead of normal car pooling. This has a system of employee codeverification which makes it a secure car pooling website.  This websiteacts like a personal internal website for any company which getsregistered on this website. Most of corporate have hundreds ofemployees who have cars. If these entire employees come together anddecide to save environment, I am pretty sure that traffic can bedrastically reduced.  We have to educate people about this carpoolingconcept and also request companies to promote this. Promotion of thisconcept will be beneficial to everyone who breaths air and live onPlanet Earth.

Ten tips to make carpooling workwell

Thanks to these 10 pieces of advice, you can makeyour carpooling journeys more enjoyable, more practical and safer:

1 - Share yourtrip with the right people. It could be possible to car-share with people fromyour entourage (school, company). All that is necessary is a communal spacewhere people can write down their personal car-sharing requirements. It is thuseasy to spot those who could share your journeys. Using Poolmycar.in as such acommunal space means the right travelling companions can be found.

2 - Swapdrivers. For journeys of more than 2h, it is preferable to change drivers andto regularly stop for some fresh air and relaxation. However, you must be surethat anybody who takes the wheel has their clean driving license on them, andis an experienced driver. It is also advisable to take out a fullycomprehensive insurance policy for the vehicle, in case of an accident.

3 - Select thecorrect time and place for your meeting. If the car-sharers live close to eachother, the meeting place and drop-off point are easy to arrange. On the otherhand, if they are a long way from each other, a strategic place for everybodymust be chosen, which is either easily accessible via public transport, or onthe driver’s route. As for the time, it is well-advised to select a timeoutside of rush hour. It must, nevertheless, be adapted to suit everybody.

4 - Share thecosts fairly. It is indispensable to decide, before departing, upon the costscharged to each car-sharer. These include: petrol, tolls, insurance, oil,tyres, etc. It is up to the driver to decide how much detail to include.However, it is better that the car-sharers are forewarned to avoid anymisunderstandings.

How to calculatecosts?

Determine thevehicle’s average consumption for 100km.

Multiply thisfigure by the length of the journey.

Multiply theresult obtained by the cost of fuel.

Add any possiblecosts such as tolls or other charges to the figure obtained.

Divide the totalamount by the number of passengers.

Or simply useour calculator on poolmycar.in  

5 - Choosebetween economy and comfort. Everybody can adapt their journey to their ownbudget. An economical car-sharer would prefer to avoid tolls and use secondaryroads, while a car-sharer in search of comfort would choose a more direct,faster route, despite the various costs this will add.

6 - Establishprecise rules. To car-share, you must know how to adopt suitable behavior. Eachdriver has their own habits. It is best to know the conditions before departure.Is smoking permitted? Can music be played? Is eating permitted? Are animalsallowed?

7 - Drive calmlyand appropriately. The driver must drive smoothly and fully obey the HighwayCode. In no circumstances may the driver consume alcohol or any illicitsubstance. Complete safety is paramount.

8 - Establishsecurity and confidence. So that all car-sharers feel at ease, each passengershows their IDs, and the driver shows their driving license. This is to provideeverybody with some reassurance.

9 - Make thenecessary contact details known in case there is an accident. Each car-sharershould provide the contact details of the person to contact in the case of anemergency. This could be very useful in the case of an accident, malaise,illness, etc.

10 - Maintain agood atmosphere. Carpooling is meant to be fun. So avoid loaded subjects ofconversation, interminable telephone calls or even behavior which is out ofplace. Instead, make the most of the experience and create contacts.

Some people said they need a good resource to find a right person to pool with may be some good carpooling website. Some people were just willing to pool with people of their own organization. Most of corporate have hundreds of employees who have cars. If these entire employees come together and decide to save environment, I am pretty sure that traffic can be drastically reduced. We have to educate people about this carpooling concept and also request companies to promote this. Promotion of this concept will be beneficial to everyone who breaths air and live on Planet Earth.
