Travelling to work alone and taking double the time normally required to reach is probably an everyday affair for you.
While driving alone bores you to death, there is also the wastage of precious time and fuel in the ever crazy traffic. Add to that, the amount of air and noise pollution your car, and every other car is causing. Ever thought of finding a way to ease yourself of this 'everyday' woe?
While there are a lot of other options, carpooling is one of the most convenient one. Instead of four people driving four cars, it makes more sense that they use one car since it has enough space for all. In case you're still not convinced, read the following reasons why you must give in to carpooling.
A lot of people spend a lot of time driving their children to school or their wives to their workplace and then, there is their own commuting to be done. Going all around results in a lot of precious time lost and for a lo of you time equals to money.You can arrange with other parents and get them to pool the kids together when going to school and, hence, save a lot of time.
Carpooling obviously leads to lesser consumption of fuel. Since there won't be a crazy number of cars guzzling up fuel, we'll probably have some of it left for the future generation. Also, oil-rich countries probably won't have the power to hold other countries ransom for it. Lesser fuel also means saving your hard earned money.
If a lot of people decide to carpool, just like you, the number of cars on the road would be significantly lower. This means the traffic caused by the insane amount of cars could become almost non-existent. This means you would reach your destination in half the time and without being harrowed by the constant jams and the incessant honking all around.
Every car makes its own fatal contribution to environmental pollution so, we can imagine the havoc that thousands of cars must be wrecking on the environment. If you cannot put a stop to it, you can at least try to reduce the ill-effects. If four people decide to carpool, they reduce the toxic emission of three cars. The more people carpool, the lesser the amount of environmental hazard.
We're not trying to be cheesy here. Carpooling actually helps create new relationships as well as cement old ones. When you pool into a car with friends or colleagues, you get an opportunity to connect with them which is, otherwise, sparse in this hectic world. When carpooling with strangers, you end up making new friends which is a profitable bet too.
Freedom from Stress of Driving
Driving everyday can be stressful and can become maddening considering the awful traffic scenario, especially during rush hours. Carpooling provides you a respite from it as driving will be rotational between you all. When driving is an occasional event, it is rare that you will despise it. (Special Features, MensXP.com)
