Carpool - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (471 words) |
 | Carpooling (also known as ride-sharing or, in the UK, lift-sharing and even, confusingly, as car sharing, is shared use of a car, in particular for commuting to work, often by people who each have a car but travel together to save costs. |
| Carpool projects have been around in fairly structured form going back to the mid-seventies, and in recent years have begun to make much more extensive use of the internet and software support systems. |
| Carpooling combines many of the disadvantages of public transportation (lack of privacy, not on-demand) with the disadvantages of the automobile (low safety, high fuel consumption, high cost of labour). |
