What is Carpool?

The Concept of Carpool started when people travelling to the same destination at same point of time from the same place of origination come together and decide to travel in a common car instead of travelling alone in their personal cars.

The car-poolers can be of three types:

· Car owner cum passenger – Those who own a car but would like to take it to office on odd and even days and wish to share with others.

· Car owner – Those who own a car.

· Passenger – Those who use public transport and would like to pool into a members personal car.

Pooling Etiquette

· For your own benefit and safety introduce yourself to your co-passengers, and you can exchange your identification details with other co-passengers.

· Stick to the time. Once a time has been agreed upon, make it a point to keep it up. However, occasional flexibility of about 5-10 minutes can be accorded depending on circumstances.

· Agree upon a route of commute that is suitable to all and then stick to it unless otherwise decided with mutual consent.

· Respect your co-passengers and driver and treat them EQUALLY. For us, all of you are equally important. Any incident of misbehavior with either the co-passenger or car owner would call for cancellation of your membership. good practice to pay your share of the fortnight’s fare before moving out.

· Please avoid smoking in the pooled car or take prior consent of your co-passengers.

· Consumption of alcohol in the pooled car is absolutely prohibited. Any such incident we would call for cancellation of your membership.

· If all don't share the same taste in music, use personal headphones/earphones

· Maintain a comfortable distance between the members, especially when you are pooling with members of the opposite gender.

· Do not opt out of the pool without a fortnight’s notice, this would help co-passengers find a suitable substitute. If you still have to move out immediately, it is a good practice to pay your share of the fortnight’s fare before moving out.

· Last but not the least, keep the conversation light and enjoyable.
